About our landlord roof survey in Fisher's Pond
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early so work can be planned, not rushed. The findings come in a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. We’re often asked to look into mortar falling from ridges and verges and damp or stains in top-floor flats, on converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes.
Some older homes in villages like Fisher's Pond are 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year and include any valley or parapet gutters. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.

What else we do in Fisher's Pond
What we do, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, it typically takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Fisher's Pond can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
Honest limits
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)

What we look at
- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
- Rented houses
- Gutters and downpipes
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
When to book a survey in Fisher's Pond
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.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
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.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What experience they bring
Leave it or get it looked at?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. For older village homes like those around Fisher's Pond, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Fisher's Pond?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Fisher's Pond
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. With South Stoneham House about 4.6 miles south-west, Fisher's Pond sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a building like Colden Common Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you own a rental within reach of Eastleigh station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
