Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Leagreen
We survey let and shared roofs in Leagreen and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. We are frequently asked to look into ceiling stains reported by tenants and damaged pots and flaunching, on gutters and downpipes, rented houses and converted houses.
In a small place like Leagreen, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Leagreen homes and their roofs
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Leagreen, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Highcliffe Castle lies about 4.5 miles west, so building around Leagreen goes back a long way. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done.
Leagreen is about 3 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Leagreen, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Leagreen is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We also survey roofs in Southampton.

Useful tips for Leagreen property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Deal with urgent items first
- Give residents notice before a survey
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
It is a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials

Questions from Leagreen
Is Leagreen within the area you cover?
Yes, Leagreen is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Leagreen listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
How much time does the visit need?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.

DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Leagreen
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
When to book a survey in Leagreen
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
If you let a flat or house near New Milton station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take an hour or two at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere like Leagreen needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you in advance.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
