Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in North Hayling
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them, along with the roof space where there’s safe access. If you are worried about cracked or lifting flashings and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped, we can find out what’s behind it, on blocks of flats, rented houses and shared roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like North Hayling, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Landlord roof surveys around North Hayling
North Hayling is within about 1 mile of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. With Warblington Castle about 1.5 miles north, North Hayling sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Warblington station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Living close to Eames Farm is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
North Hayling is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. Surveys in North Hayling work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful look at whatever is safely visible, photographs and a clear written report. North Hayling is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work for landlord roof surveys.

How the survey changes by roof type
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that’s hard to see. They’re checked where safe access allows.
What we cannot see
It is useful to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits

North Hayling questions
Will you come out to North Hayling?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How do I find out if my home in North Hayling is listed?
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.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It does not include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No. The lease normally decides who is responsible, and that is a legal question. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older roofs in small places like North Hayling can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

More services for North Hayling
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What affects the price in North Hayling
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Roof area
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- When you need the report by
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
