About our landlord roof survey in Lee-on-the-Solent
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. 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, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. Common reasons to book are leaking joints at party walls and leaks into upper flats, across converted houses, rented houses and shared roofs.
In a smaller place like Lee-on-the-Solent, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Questions from Lee-on-the-Solent
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Lee-on-the-Solent?
Often, yes. Within about 1 mile of the sea, as Lee-on-the-Solent is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Can a landlord with a rental near Fareham station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How do I book a survey in Lee-on-the-Solent?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Lee-on-the-Solent
Lee-on-the-Solent lies within about 1 mile of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, while driving rain finds any gap. Osborne House, about 4.9 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Lee-on-the-Solent. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a building like Lee-On-the-Solent Infant and Nursery School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Shop and office owners around Fareham Shopping Centre may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches

How the survey works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Lee-on-the-Solent is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Booking a survey

Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Deal with urgent items first
You receive a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
