Landlord roof survey in Netley Marsh
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’ve noticed loose ridge or hip tiles and flashings that have come away, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like Netley Marsh may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Netley Marsh
Is my home in Netley Marsh listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Netley Marsh?
Often, yes. Within about 3 miles of the sea, as Netley Marsh is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Netley Marsh?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do you need access to all the flats?
We may do. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we’ll need to go in so please give residents notice.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No, we don’t advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No, it focuses on the roof. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.

Local roofs in Netley Marsh
Netley Marsh lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Matthew, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you let a flat or house near Ashurst New Forest station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Around Netley Marsh, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

When to book a survey in Netley Marsh
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Problems we come across often include:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Flashings that have come away
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
Anyone responsible for a site like Netley Marsh Church of England Infant School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What insurance they carry
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Different roofs, different checks
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the loft space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch, so it needs arranging.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed and get close attention.
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- A full structural assessment of the building

How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Netley Marsh, access is typically the main thing to plan. 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.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
