Landlord roof survey in Rowner: what you get
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We are often asked to look into leaking joints at party walls and cracked or lifting flashings, on shared roofs, converted houses and gutters and downpipes.
In a smaller place like Rowner, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are usually where the work is. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What this survey cannot tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Responsibility under a lease
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof

What happens if roof problems are left?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. On a bungalow or cottage around Rowner, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we can help you choose.
Why book with us

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Rowner
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How big the roof is
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Rowner, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

FAQs for Rowner
Will you come out to Rowner?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Rowner, take more of a battering?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
That depends on the layout. Often we need the loft and certain flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We will confirm what we need when booking.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we’ll say so.
How do I book a survey in Rowner?
Just phone 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Rowner
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. They all age at different rates, and flat roofs over rear additions frequently need attention sooner.
Look out for signs like these:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Standing water on a flat roof
Take a building like Bridgemary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Will the report include photos?
- What insurance they carry

Landlord roof surveys in Rowner: local notes
Rowner is within about 2 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you live in an older home near St Matthew's, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For businesses in and around places such as Fareham Shopping Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
