Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Purbrook
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. If you are worried about loose ridge or hip tiles and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, we can find out what’s behind it.
Purbrook mixes older houses, frequently slate or clay tiled, with newer estates, many of them with concrete tiles. Older homes frequently keep chimney stacks long after the fireplaces went, and their flashings and pointing still matter. Later houses have their own typical faults, from loose ridge tiles to blocked gutters.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Purbrook: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Purbrook?
Frequently, yes. Purbrook is within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
How do I find out if my home in Purbrook is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
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.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with residents’ and RTM management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.

How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. A typical visit in Purbrook 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, so unlocked gates help. Then, if it can be reached safely, we look in the loft.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Why it’s worth a survey now in Purbrook
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Around Purbrook, water from a roof defect frequently goes unseen for a while, soaking loft insulation, wall tops and timbers. By the time it shows inside, the job has grown.

Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we’re given access to, and the report says what was seen.
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. We give them close attention.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Purbrook
Purbrook 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. The wider area around Purbrook has a long history of building, with Warblington Castle about 3.3 miles south-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Purbrook Junior School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Landlords with a home close to Bedhampton station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
