How a landlord roof survey works in Martin
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey shared roofs, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes, and people most frequently book us about standing water on a flat roof and parapets and upstands in poor repair.
In a small place like Martin, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Martin
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Roof area
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
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:
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)

Martin homes and their roofs
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Around Martin, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Martin, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Advice
FAQs for Martin
Do you cover smaller places like Martin?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Martin is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
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.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No. We survey the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we will explain what’s needed.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
