Landlord roof survey in Purbrook Heath
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with 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. Typical surveys look at cracked or lifting flashings and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped, across gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Purbrook Heath are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Purbrook Heath frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you in advance.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about parking near the property

Advice
Landlord roof surveys around Purbrook Heath
Purbrook Heath lies within about 2 miles of the sea, 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. With Warblington Castle about 4.2 miles east, Purbrook Heath sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own a rental within reach of Cosham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St John, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building such as Purbrook Junior School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What else we do in Purbrook Heath
DIY checks: what’s safe
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the loft space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch, so it needs arranging.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands where we can see them safely.
For landlords and managing agents
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Landlords and letting agents in Purbrook Heath book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Purbrook Heath
Will you come out to Purbrook Heath?
Yes, Purbrook Heath is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is my home in Purbrook Heath listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
We may do. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we will need to go in, so residents need notice.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Why act early in Purbrook Heath
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. In a place like Purbrook Heath, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
