About our landlord roof survey in Fleet
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photographs and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. If you’re worried about gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and chimney stacks in poor repair, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Around Fleet, semis and terraces share chimneys, gutters and roof lines with the house next door. A shared chimney stack or a gutter run across two houses means a defect may sit partly on someone else’s property. Shared parts are looked at as far as they can safely be seen from the property we are surveying. Tell us when booking if you know of anything shared with next door.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Fleet
The wider area around Fleet has a long history of building, with Farnham Castle about 4.1 miles south. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Trees in and around Oakley Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you live in an older home near Fleet Methodist Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Fleet is about 13 miles south-east of Reading, in Hampshire. We carry out landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Fleet. Our Hampshire coverage includes Fleet and the places around it. There’s also a page for Guildford.
Landlord roof surveys in GU51, GU52 and GU10 are booked the same way as anywhere else. You’ll find streets such as Church Road, Durnsford Avenue and Hankins Court, and we cover them all. Main roads around Fleet include the A323 and A3013.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Fleet
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.

Fleet: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Fleet station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fleet?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Fleet in your area?
Yes, we do. Fleet is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
How do I book a survey in Fleet?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Fleet
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. Around Fleet, water from a roof defect often goes unseen for a while, soaking loft insulation, wall tops and timbers. By the time it shows inside, the job has grown.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Fleet
- Packages from £150, including VAT
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- Every finding written up with photos

Common roof problems in Fleet
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Flashings that have come away
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
If you own a rental within reach of Fleet station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What the survey will not cover
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. A visit in Fleet runs most smoothly with the loft hatch clear, side gates open and a parking spot in mind. Someone needs to let us in, so let us know who that will be.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
