Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Little Holbury
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Little Holbury and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely, and by drone where it is applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you are worried about leaking joints at party walls and damaged pots and flaunching, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Little Holbury are 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 often expected.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Little Holbury: your questions answered
Will you come out to Little Holbury?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can a landlord with a rental near Netley station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Little Holbury homes and their roofs
Little Holbury lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Historic houses such as Beaulieu Palace House, about 2.8 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Little Holbury goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Manor Church of England Infant School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Little Holbury
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How big the roof is
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we will point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Honest limits
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- Converted houses
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Shared roofs
What we’re asked to look at in Little Holbury
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs or when.
People usually book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Leaks into upper flats
If you own a rental within reach of Netley station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before booking anyone
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. For a village or hamlet like Little Holbury, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Advice
Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Arrange flat access beforehand
You receive a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
