Landlord roof survey in Poulner: what you get
Landlords frequently book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are missing or loose roof coverings and failed flashings at walls and chimneys.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Poulner drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit usually takes an hour or two at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a survey in Poulner, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- 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 looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Leave it or get it looked at?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Poulner, so it is useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Poulner
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- Packages from £150, with VAT included

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Poulner
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
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.

What else we do in Poulner
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run seven days a week, which can make access easier.
What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently need replacing after around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Poulner homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Avon Tyrrell House, about 3.8 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Poulner. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near St John the Baptist, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you look after a building such as Poulner Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Common questions in Poulner
Is Poulner in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Poulner as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Poulner?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site and larger buildings take longer.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
