Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Gosport
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We survey flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and converted houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are parapets and upstands in poor repair and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
Some older homes in villages like Gosport are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Gosport
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
For landlords with property near Chandlers Ford station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Ampfield Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What else we do in Gosport
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
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.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Gosport?
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mark are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Before you book anyone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether VAT is added on top
When you need someone else
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Responsibility under a lease
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof

Gosport: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Gosport?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Gosport?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Blocks are priced on their size and roofs. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Who normally books a landlord or block roof survey?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with residents’ and RTM management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Rural addresses near Gosport can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
How to book
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
Advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later helping you spread the work. For older village homes like those around Gosport, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
