Landlord roof survey in Maybush, Southampton
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats across Maybush, using drones and thermal imaging where applicable. Get in touch for a price.
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
Checking the roof from ground level
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
About our landlord roof survey in Maybush
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The loft 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 will say what we need as you book. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey shared roofs, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and people most frequently book us about failed flashings at walls and chimneys and damaged pots and flaunching.
Around Maybush, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. 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 ground level.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. On a bungalow or cottage around Maybush, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about one to two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a smaller place like Maybush, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- 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.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Getting a price
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.

What else we do in Maybush
What we are asked to look at in Maybush
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling, by which point the damage has spread.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Choked outlets and gutters
Living close to St James' Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Maybush
Maybush is within about 2 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you run a business near Marlands Shopping Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. Historic houses such as Southampton Tudor House and Garden, about 2.9 miles south-east, show how far back building around Maybush goes. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.

What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. We give them close attention.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys frequently let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
For landlords and managing agents
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
Landlords and letting agents in Maybush book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Maybush questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Redbridge station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
How do I find out if my home in Maybush is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. You will then get the report by email.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
