Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:

About our landlord roof survey in Langstone
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely, along with the roof space where there’s safe access. We survey gutters and downpipes, rented houses and converted houses, and people most frequently book us about standing water on a flat roof and worn ridges, hips and verges.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Keep the loft space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Langstone, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Landlord roof surveys in Langstone: local notes
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Langstone, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you live in an older home near Saint Nicholas' Chapel, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you look after a building such as Bosmere Junior School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you own a rental within reach of Havant station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Langstone is about 2 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. We visit Langstone as part of our work across Hampshire, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Our Hampshire coverage includes Langstone.

Langstone: your questions answered
Is the coastal weather around Langstone hard on roofs?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Can a landlord with a rental near Havant station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. Older cottages and farmhouses around Langstone can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why us?
- A photo-illustrated written report
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Visits on any day of the week

Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
