What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that is hard to see. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
How a landlord roof survey works in North Baddesley
We survey let and shared roofs in North Baddesley and across London and the South East. A visit normally takes between one and two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen including by drone where applicable. You then get a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed parapets and upstands in poor repair and blocked gutters over flats, we can find out what’s behind it, on gutters and downpipes, converted houses and blocks of flats alike.
In a smaller place like North Baddesley, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A careful look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in North Baddesley
Will you come out to North Baddesley?
Yes, North Baddesley is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I find out if my home in North Baddesley is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No. We survey the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No, we do not advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
That depends on the layout. Frequently we need the loft and certain flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We tell you what’s needed when you book.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in North Baddesley
North Baddesley is within about 5 miles of the coast, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further 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. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For landlords with property near Romsey station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Historic houses like South Stoneham House, about 4.1 miles south-east, show how far back building around North Baddesley goes. If you own one of the older houses, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up. Anyone responsible for a site like North Baddesley Junior School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey typically takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to North Baddesley is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about parking near the property

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
