Landlord roof survey in Furzey Lodge: what you get
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. Common reasons to book are flashings that have come away and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, on gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and converted houses.
Older buildings in small places like Furzey Lodge 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 like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older roofs in small places like Furzey Lodge can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Advice

If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
FAQs for Furzey Lodge
Is the coastal weather around Furzey Lodge hard on roofs?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Do you cover smaller places like Furzey Lodge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
How long will you be on site?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
Is this survey just for landlords?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How the survey changes by roof type
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We note what we can see.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that’s hard to see. They’re checked where safe access allows.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. In a small place like Furzey Lodge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why us?
- A written report with photos
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Clear package prices, with VAT included
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.

Landlord roof surveys around Furzey Lodge
Furzey Lodge lies within about 4 miles of the sea, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. 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. Historic houses such as Beaulieu Palace House, about 1.2 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Furzey Lodge goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Take a building like Beaulieu Village Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Landlords with a home close to Beaulieu Road station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
