Leave it or get it looked at?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. In a place like Oversland, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

How a landlord roof survey works in Oversland
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you’ve noticed splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, on shared roofs, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks alike.
Village roofs often 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Oversland can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you in advance.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.

Common questions in Oversland
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Oversland?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details like ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Oversland is within about 5 miles of the coast.
Will you come out to Oversland?
Yes, Oversland is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when you book.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be, and the report says so.
How long will you be on site?
A visit normally takes about one to two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. We will give you an idea when you book.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No, it’s a roof survey. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey, and it is not a structural engineer’s report.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Oversland?

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Oversland
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
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.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Oversland
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Oversland, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. Belmont House and Gardens, about 4.8 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Oversland. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Anyone responsible for a site like Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you live near a park such as Mount Ephraim Gardens, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
