Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Lower Burgate
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. The roof space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We survey gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and shared roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaking joints at party walls and chimney stacks in poor repair.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Burgate, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Check the roof space can be accessed
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.
Lower Burgate homes and their roofs
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. The wider area around Lower Burgate has a long history of building, with Breamore House about 2.2 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like The Burgate School and Sixth Form: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

FAQs for Lower Burgate
Is Lower Burgate in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Lower Burgate is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Lower Burgate listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is this survey just for landlords?
Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders book it, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs are not included, but contractors can price from it.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.

How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Lower Burgate, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Let us know about parking near the property
