Mount Pleasant homes and their roofs
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Mount Pleasant, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, while driving rain finds any gap. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Landlords with a home close to Sway station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Mount Pleasant
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. The findings come in a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. Common reasons to book are damp or stains in top-floor flats and damaged pots and flaunching, on rented houses, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs.
In a small place like Mount Pleasant, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Questions from Mount Pleasant
I let a flat near Sway station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mount Pleasant?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a 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.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it is agreed before booking.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Do you cover Mount Pleasant?
Yes. We survey roofs in Mount Pleasant and the rest of Hampshire. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. The report follows by email.

Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Mount Pleasant?
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged pots and flaunching
If you look after a building like Priestlands School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- When you will get the report
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What exactly goes into their report
What this survey cannot tell you
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
- A full building survey of every part of the property
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

- Rented houses
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs
What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we look at them closely.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands where we can see them safely.
How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older rural homes like those around Mount Pleasant can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- 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 looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Book a survey
