Landlord roof survey in Crockerhill
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. Common reasons to book are parapets and upstands in poor repair and ceiling stains reported by tenants, across blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes.
In a small place like Crockerhill, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Landlord roof surveys in Crockerhill: local notes
Crockerhill lies within about 3 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, while driving rain finds any gap. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like The Henry Cort Community College, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Landlords with a home close to Fareham station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Crockerhill is about 2 miles north of Fareham, in Hampshire. Roofs in Crockerhill get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Hampshire. Crockerhill is one of the places in Hampshire we cover. We also survey roofs in Portsmouth.

How it works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Crockerhill often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about parking before the day
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
Crockerhill questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Fareham station?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is Crockerhill within the area you cover?
Yes. Crockerhill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Crockerhill
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Common roof problems in Crockerhill
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Everyone may think someone else is responsible, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
What to check before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Which survey package you book
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The size of the roof
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Booking your survey
We’ll normally ask about:
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- When you need the report by
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
