How a landlord roof survey works in Furzeley Corner
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Furzeley Corner and the rest of London and the South East. A visit usually takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely, and by drone where it is applicable. A written report with photos follows. We survey gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are ceiling stains reported by tenants and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Tell tenants when we are coming
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Why act early in Furzeley Corner
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. In a place like Furzeley Corner, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What you get with us
- Surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays
- Packages from £150, inc. VAT

Furzeley Corner homes and their roofs
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Furzeley Corner, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you let a flat or house near Cosham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take a building like Denmead Junior School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- House, block, shop or office
- Roof area
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date

Questions from Furzeley Corner
Is my home in Furzeley Corner listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
I let a flat near Cosham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we’ll say so.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Furzeley Corner?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily leaving water standing. They’re checked during the survey.
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a hamlet or village like Furzeley Corner, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof 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
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
