Landlord roof survey in Clatterford, Isle of Wight
Landlord roof surveys in Clatterford, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Leaks into upper flats
How the survey works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a village or hamlet like Clatterford, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Clatterford
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We check the roof from each safe vantage point including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. If you are worried about mortar falling from ridges and verges and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Clatterford may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Landlord roof surveys around Clatterford
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Clatterford, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Historic houses such as Carisbrooke Castle, about 0.3 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Clatterford goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St. Nicholas in Castro, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Useful tips for Clatterford property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
What we can’t see
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Responsibility under a lease
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

Common questions in Clatterford
Will you come out to Clatterford?
Yes, Clatterford is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Clatterford, take more of a battering?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How much time does the visit need?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when booking.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Clatterford

Outbuildings and barns around Clatterford are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
