What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere as small as Funtley, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Landlord roof survey in Funtley: what you get
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told in advance. You or your agent arrange access and we’ll say what we need as you book. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey shared roofs, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
Older buildings in small places like Funtley may be 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. A roof report helps you plan work 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, whichever applies.

Common roof problems in Funtley
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling, by which point the damage has spread.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Flashings that have come away
- Choked outlets and gutters
Anyone responsible for a site like Orchard Lea Infant School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the survey will not cover
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Will the report include photos?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. We note what we can see.
Shared chimney stacks
Damp in a chimney breast can start at the top of the stack. We note what we can see.
Common questions in Funtley
Will you come out to Funtley?
Yes. Funtley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is my home in Funtley listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No. Who pays is usually set by the lease and we do not give legal advice. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No. We survey the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
That depends on the layout. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We’ll confirm what we need when you book.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Funtley
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the roof
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Which survey package you book
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them

What else we do in Funtley
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Funtley
Funtley lies within about 3 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For businesses in and around places such as Fareham Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Francis, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Funtley is about 1 mile north of Fareham, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Funtley is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Funtley is one of the places in Hampshire we cover. Our Portsmouth page covers surveys nearby.

Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
