Landlord Roof Survey in East Worldham
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats across East Worldham, using drones and thermal imaging where it applies. Get in touch for a price.
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Leaks into upper flats
- Flashings that have come away
Why get it checked now?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. For an older or listed building in a place like East Worldham, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in East Worldham
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in East Worldham
We survey let and shared roofs in East Worldham and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. If you’ve noticed cracked or leaning shared chimneys and choked outlets and gutters, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as East Worldham, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. 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.
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.

What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

- Shared roofs
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Converted houses
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around East Worldham often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

What else we do in East Worldham
How we price landlord roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof

- What’s prompted the survey
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.

Common questions in East Worldham
Is my home in East Worldham listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to East Worldham?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I book a survey in East Worldham?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in East Worldham
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you look after a building such as Eggar's School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you let a flat or house near Alton station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
