About our landlord roof survey in Plaitford Green
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them, along with the loft space where there is safe access. We survey shared roofs, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or lifting flashings and cracked or leaning shared chimneys.
In a small place like Plaitford Green, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Plaitford Green
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How big the roof is
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- When you need the report by
- Anything about access we should know
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
We confirm the exact price before you book, so you know the cost up front. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Questions from Plaitford Green
Is Plaitford Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Plaitford Green is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
What we do, step by step
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. The visit normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Plaitford Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Why it is worth a survey now in Plaitford Green
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Landlord roof surveys in Plaitford Green: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 1.7 miles south-west lies Landford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Plaitford Green has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you let a flat or house near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Leonard, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Plaitford Green is about 5 miles west of Romsey, in Hampshire. Bookings from Plaitford Green are handled just like any other: a call or an email, a price, then a date. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire. We also survey roofs in Southampton.

What we look for on each type of roof

Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily, and standing water follows. We check them as part of the survey.
