Landlord roof survey in East Meon
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey shared roofs, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are choked outlets and gutters and ponding or splits on flat roofs.
Older buildings in small places like East Meon may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Common questions in East Meon
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Petersfield station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building.
Do you cover smaller places like East Meon?
Yes, East Meon is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is this an asbestos survey?
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, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in East Meon?
Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Landlords, agents and block managers in East Meon
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in East Meon
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of All Saints, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Rural addresses near East Meon can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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 be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
How to book
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Around East Meon, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we’ll tell you which fits.

When you need someone else
A survey is a proper look at the let or shared roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Gutters and downpipes
- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Converted houses
- Rented houses
- Blocks of flats
What you can safely check yourself
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
