Landlord roof survey in Heathfield: what you get
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It doesn’t give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey converted houses, blocks of flats and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are parapets and upstands in poor repair and slipped or missing slates and tiles.
Houses in smaller places like Heathfield can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

What we can’t see
It’s a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Heathfield?
On a shared roof, it is not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it, so maintenance gets put off. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Missing or loose roof coverings
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Fareham Shopping Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
What to check before booking
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Will the report include photos?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the exact price before booking.

Landlord roof surveys around Heathfield
Heathfield lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask.
Landlords with a home close to Fareham station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ranvilles Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Heathfield is about 1 mile west of Fareham, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in Heathfield, we can come and survey your property. Heathfield is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover for landlord roof surveys. Portsmouth is in our area too.
Surveys in PO15 and PO14 are booked the same way as anywhere else. That includes homes and businesses on Oak Road, Peak Lane and The Avenue. We also cover the places around Heathfield: Catisfield (1 mile west), Titchfield (1 mile west), Funtley (1 mile north), Titchfield Park (2 miles north-west) and Little Posbrook (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Winchester (15 miles north), Gosport (4 miles south-east), Havant (10 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north-west), Horndean (10 miles north-east) and Totton (14 miles west).

Around Heathfield, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Fishermans Arms and The Henry Cort Community College. For rail, the closest station is Fareham station, roughly 0.9 miles east. Nearby you’ll also find Fareham Shopping Centre (1.6 miles east) and Carron Row Farm Museum (1 mile north-west). For a walk, there is Portsdown Hill and Swanwick Lakes.
Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. Any problems are photographed.
Leave it or get it looked at?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it is one opinion against another. Blocked gutters on homes around Heathfield overflow and soak walls. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
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. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

How the survey works
We will ask a few questions first, such as 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. Being in a smaller place like Heathfield doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- 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.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Questions from Heathfield
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Heathfield?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Heathfield within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details as you book.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
