Landlord Roof Survey in East Wellow
Find out the condition of the let or shared roof at your property in East Wellow from an independent roof surveyor. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Landlord roof survey in East Wellow
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We can’t advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. We survey rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are cracked or lifting flashings and parapets and upstands in poor repair.
In a village or hamlet like East Wellow, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere like East Wellow needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Local roofs in East Wellow
The wider area around East Wellow has a long history of building, with Landford Manor about 2.8 miles west. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you own a rental within reach of Romsey station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. The streets around a church such as Church of St Margaret are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wellow School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in East Wellow
How do I find out if my home in East Wellow is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like East Wellow?
Yes. East Wellow is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.

No, it focuses on the roof. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.

What else we do in East Wellow
What happens if roof problems are left?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Older cottages and farmhouses around East Wellow can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
