Landlord roof survey in Priddy's Hard: what you get
We survey let and shared roofs in Priddy's Hard and across London and the South East. A visit normally takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at missing or loose roof coverings and leaking joints at party walls, on gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and shared roofs.
Somewhere as small as Priddy's Hard, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The Standard Survey adds 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.

What affects the price in Priddy's Hard
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Roof area
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- What made you get in touch
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. As for time on site, it typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Priddy's Hard can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey

Priddy's Hard questions
Will you come out to Priddy's Hard?
Yes. Priddy's Hard is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Priddy's Hard, take more of a battering?
Frequently, yes. Within about 1 mile of the sea, as Priddy's Hard is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is this survey just for landlords?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Do you need access to all the flats?
That depends on the layout. We may need the roof space and some or all of the top-floor flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We tell you what’s needed when you book.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Priddy's Hard
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants frequently lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved from what’s visible.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Blocked gutters over flats
If you own a rental within reach of Portsmouth Harbour station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether the price includes VAT
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

Landlord roof surveys around Priddy's Hard
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Priddy's Hard, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, while driving rain finds any gap. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Tricorn Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

What we look for on each type of roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. The report records it.
