Landlord Roof Survey in Peasemore
Find out the condition of the let or shared roof at your property in Peasemore. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Blocked gutters over flats
What we do, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Peasemore needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

Advice
About our landlord roof survey in Peasemore
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told ahead of time. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need when you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. Common reasons to book are damaged pots and flaunching and slipped or missing slates and tiles, across gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and converted houses.
In a village or hamlet like Peasemore, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Peasemore homes and their roofs
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Barnabas, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Around Peasemore, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
- Converted houses
- Shared roofs
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
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. Do not go up yourself.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Peasemore, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

For landlords and managing agents
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.

What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently need replacing after around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
