Landlord Roof Survey in Peel Common
We carry out landlord roof surveys in Peel Common and the rest of Hampshire. Surveys run seven days a week.
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Leaking joints at party walls
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Landlord roof survey in Peel Common
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We can’t advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. We survey gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are worn ridges, hips and verges and gutters overflowing onto walls.
In a small place like Peel Common, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Peel Common: your questions answered
Is my home in Peel Common listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Peel Common?
Yes, Peel Common is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
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.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Peel Common, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Peel Common
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Peel Common needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets in another room
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Arrange a survey
We confirm the price for your survey before booking, so you know where you stand. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What we’re asked to look at in Peel Common
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Leaks into upper flats
- Missing or loose roof coverings
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Peel Common Junior School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before you book anyone
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
Landlord roof surveys in Peel Common: local notes
Peel Common lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you run a business near Fareham Shopping Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
Peel Common is about 2 miles south of Fareham, in Hampshire. Bookings from Peel Common are handled just like any other: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire.
