Landlord roof survey in Leigh Park, Hampshire
Find out the condition of the let or shared roof at your property in Leigh Park from an independent roof surveyor. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Landlord roof survey in Leigh Park: what you get
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told in advance. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you’re worried about ponding or splits on flat roofs and choked outlets and gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Leigh Park drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What else we do in Leigh Park
Leigh Park homes and their roofs
Leigh Park is within about 2 miles of the coast, 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. With Warblington Castle about 1.9 miles south-east, Leigh Park sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For an older house near a landmark like St Francis, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you let a flat or house near Havant station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you look after a building like Riders Infant School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Leigh Park is about 1 mile north of Havant, in Hampshire. In Leigh Park, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Leigh Park is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work. For surveys nearby, see our Portsmouth page.
Surveys in PO9 are booked the same way as anywhere else. We offer landlord roof surveys to properties on Riders Lane, Iping Avenue and Sunwood Road and the roads around them. We also cover the places around Leigh Park: Havant (1 mile south), Durrants (1 mile north-east), Denvilles (1 mile south-east), Rowlands Castle (2 miles north-east) and Langstone (2 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Gosport (8 miles south-west), Fareham (9 miles west), Horndean (3 miles north), Hedge End (14 miles west), Petersfield (10 miles north) and Locks Heath (12 miles west).
What’s near Leigh Park

A little further out are Warblington Castle (1.9 miles south-east) and Havant Museum (1.3 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Windmill Hill and Southmoor Nature Reserve.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. A visit to a smaller place like Leigh Park is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
Booking a survey
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often last around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the roof space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch, so it needs arranging.
Questions from Leigh Park
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Havant station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
How do I find out if my home in Leigh Park is listed?
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.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Is Leigh Park in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs in Leigh Park and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across London and South East England. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Leigh Park
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. In a smaller place like Leigh Park, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
