Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Crofton
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We’re frequently asked to look into damaged pots and flaunching and missing or loose roof coverings, on flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes.
Some older homes in villages like Crofton are 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.

Other services in Crofton
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- File each roof report for future reference
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Crofton
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Crofton, 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. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Peel Common Mission Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Fareham Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

Crofton: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Fareham station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Crofton?
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 a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access as you book.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Is Crofton in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, Crofton included.
What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings as far as can be seen safely.
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We check it where there is safe access, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
What happens on the day
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Crofton, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
