The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Rural addresses near Michelmersh can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Landlord roof survey in Michelmersh
We survey let and shared roofs in Michelmersh and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We survey converted houses, shared roofs and blocks of flats, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged pots and flaunching and gutters overflowing onto walls.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Michelmersh: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Michelmersh is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building.
Is Michelmersh in your area?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Michelmersh.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Michelmersh?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
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 is disturbed.
Roof by roof
Shared chimney stacks
Damp in a chimney breast can start at the top of the stack. We note what we can see.
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. We record what we see.
What happens if roof problems are left?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. For older village homes like those around Michelmersh, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Why us?
- 98% customer satisfaction
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Photographs and a written report every time
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed

Local roofs in Michelmersh
The wider area around Michelmersh has a long history of building, with Mottisfont Abbey about 1.2 miles north-west. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

When to book a survey in Michelmersh
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
For landlords with property near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
