Tips that help
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Landlord roof survey in Gosport: what you get
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. Common reasons to book are splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and damp or stains in top-floor flats, across shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes.
In a town like Gosport, older houses with slate or clay tile roofs typically sit alongside later estates with concrete tiles. Chimneys on older houses may be redundant, capped or leaning, and their lead flashings still need to be sound. Newer homes have fewer chimneys but their own weak points at ridges, verges and gutters.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Gosport
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. In a family home in Gosport, a small roof fault lets water into places you can’t see, soaking loft insulation, wall tops and timbers. By the time it shows inside, the job has grown.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Gosport
Gosport is within about 2 miles of the coast, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, while driving rain finds any gap. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you look after a building such as Brockhurst Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For businesses in and around places such as Tricorn Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. If you let a flat or house near Portsmouth Harbour station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Gosport
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Gosport?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows.
I let a flat near Portsmouth Harbour station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
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.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.

What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. A typical visit in Gosport begins with the street side of the roof and then moves round the building. The back garden is often where extensions, dormers and rear slopes are best seen, so unlocked gates help. The loft comes next, where there’s safe access.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
