Landlord roof survey in Newbridge, Hampshire
Not sure what state the let or shared roof is in? You can book a landlord roof survey in Newbridge and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Standing water on a flat roof
Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner and the report helps with that.
About our landlord roof survey in Newbridge
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. We survey gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks, and people most often book us about missing or loose roof coverings and leaking joints at party walls.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It normally takes an hour or two at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Newbridge frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Leave side gates unlocked
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Questions from Newbridge
How do I find out if my home in Newbridge is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
I let a flat near Ashurst New Forest station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the building.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
When to book a survey in Newbridge
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time particularly where the roof cannot be seen from the street.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Copythorne CofE Infant School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens after the report arrives
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What experience they bring
- Whether VAT is added on top

Local roofs in Newbridge
Newbridge is within about 5 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift. The wider area around Newbridge has a long history of building, with Landford Manor about 3.8 miles north-west. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For landlords with property near Ashurst New Forest station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
