Landlord roof survey in Northney
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It doesn’t give repair costs but contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaking joints at party walls and gutters overflowing onto walls.
In a small place like Northney, 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 roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Northney
Is the coastal weather around Northney hard on roofs?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Is Northney within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No. Our survey covers the roof, not the whole building. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
How long will you be on site?
A visit normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We’ll give you an idea when booking.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Larger buildings are priced to suit, so call 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Northney
Northney is within about 1 mile 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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Living close to Eames Farm is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For landlords with property near Warblington station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Northney is about 3 miles south-east of Havant, in Hampshire. Northney gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a proper look at what can safely be seen, photographs and a clear written report. Our Hampshire coverage includes Northney.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Outbuildings and barns around Northney are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Northney
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
When to book a survey in Northney
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak, by which point the damage has spread.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Blocked gutters over flats
With Warblington Castle about 1.1 miles north, the area around Northney has a long history. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- House, block, shop or office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we will recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Northney, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
