Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Petersfield
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you’re worried about damp or stains in top-floor flats and leaking joints at party walls, we can find out what’s behind it, on converted houses, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks alike.
Around Petersfield, semis and terraces share chimneys, gutters and roof lines with the house next door. When a stack or gutter is shared, the problem may not be on your side alone. Shared parts are looked at as far as they can safely be seen from the property we are surveying. It helps to mention any shared stacks or gutters when booking.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Why get it checked now?
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. On homes in Petersfield, the joint between an extension and the house is where a slow leak tends to start. Left for a few seasons, it can spoil plaster, skirting and flooring inside.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for the job before booking.

Questions from Petersfield
Is my home in Petersfield listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover Petersfield?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Petersfield is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, we don’t advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No. Our survey covers the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus 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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- How big the roof is
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Which survey package you book
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price before you book.
What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit typically takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. A typical visit in Petersfield begins with the street side of the roof and then moves round the building. Rear gardens and side paths often give the best view of extensions and back slopes. Then, if it can be reached safely, we look in the loft.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Petersfield
With Uppark about 4.1 miles south-east, Petersfield sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you look after a building like Petersfield Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Peter's Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Petersfield is about 10 miles north of Havant, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Petersfield, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Petersfield is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work. We also survey roofs in Portsmouth.

When to book a survey in Petersfield
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Are they insured for the work?
- What experience they bring
- What follow-up you get after the report
