Landlord Roof Survey in Crowdhill
An experienced roof surveyor for landlord roof surveys in Crowdhill. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.

How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we’re given access to, and the report says what was seen.
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
How a landlord roof survey works in Crowdhill
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. We survey converted houses, shared roofs and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged pots and flaunching and leaking joints at party walls.
In a village or hamlet like Crowdhill, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Crowdhill
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. Older and listed buildings around Crowdhill may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Why book us in Crowdhill
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT

Common questions in Crowdhill
Do you cover smaller places like Crowdhill?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Eastleigh station?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere like Crowdhill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Crowdhill
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. About 4.4 miles south-west lies South Stoneham House, a reminder of how long the area around Crowdhill has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Eastleigh station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

When to book a survey in Crowdhill
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years particularly where the roof can’t be seen from the street.
Problems we come across often include:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
Take a building like Wyvern Technology College: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the report takes to arrive
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
