Landlord roof survey in Everton, Hampshire
Landlord roof surveys in Everton and the rest of Hampshire. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around Everton can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave side gates unlocked
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Advice
Landlord roof survey in Everton
A roof over tenants or leaseholders frequently gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a written report with photographs to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We survey converted houses, shared roofs and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are mortar falling from ridges and verges and leaks into upper flats.
In a small place like Everton, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Checking the roof from the ground
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking.

Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters frequently shows as damp inside. We record what we see.
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 safely be seen.
When to book a survey in Everton
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
Common reasons to book include:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged pots and flaunching
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Mary's Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Before booking anyone
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Everton: your questions answered
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Everton, take more of a battering?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Lymington Town station?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do you cover Everton?
Yes, we do. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Everton.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
How do I book a survey in Everton?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Everton
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Everton, 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, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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 look after a building such as Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you own a rental within reach of Lymington Town station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
