How a landlord roof survey works in Lagness
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition 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 set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats, and common reasons people get in touch are mortar falling from ridges and verges and cracked or leaning shared chimneys.
Older buildings in small places like Lagness 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
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.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Lagness
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. We give them close attention.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- House, block, shop or office
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Helping us price your survey

Common questions in Lagness
Is Lagness within the area you cover?
Yes, Lagness is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Lagness listed or in a conservation area?
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.
What does a block roof survey cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Larger buildings are priced to suit. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.

Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Lagness
Lagness is within about 3 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, while driving rain finds any gap. About 4.9 miles north lies Goodwood House, a reminder of how long the area around Lagness has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If you live near a park like Avisford, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Giles, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rose Green Junior School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Rural addresses near Lagness 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 confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Book a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
