Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:

- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Lockerley
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. If you’re worried about ceiling stains reported by tenants and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected where it is safe to see them.
Why it is worth a survey now in Lockerley
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lockerley 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.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Common questions in Lockerley
Is my home in Lockerley listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Is Lockerley within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
It depends on the building. Often we need the loft and certain flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We will confirm what we need as you book.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Lockerley?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
How the survey works
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a small place like Lockerley, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft 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
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Lockerley
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. The wider area around Lockerley has a long history of building, with Mottisfont Abbey about 1.8 miles east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
Landlords with a home close to Mottisfont & Dunbridge station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take a building like Lockerley Church of England Endowed Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. The streets around a church like Church of St John are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
