About our landlord roof survey in Highbridge
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. The findings come in a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. If you are worried about splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and blocked gutters over flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Highbridge 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. 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.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Local roofs in Highbridge
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Historic houses like South Stoneham House, about 4.2 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Highbridge goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Colden Common Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Eastleigh station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Common questions in Highbridge
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Eastleigh station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building.
Will you come out to Highbridge?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be and we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.

What else we do in Highbridge
Why get it checked now?
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. Older cottages and farmhouses around Highbridge can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for the job before you book.

How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, 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. Somewhere as small as Highbridge, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets in another room

If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.
Advice
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
