How a landlord roof survey works in Sarisbury Green
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and rented houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damp or stains in top-floor flats and parapets and upstands in poor repair.
Houses in smaller places like Sarisbury Green can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

How the survey changes by roof type
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
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected where they can be seen.
The survey, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Parking around Sarisbury Green is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Leave it or get it looked at?
Finding a roof defect early typically means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. In a smaller place like Sarisbury Green, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Keep the loft space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Sarisbury Green questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Swanwick station?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Sarisbury Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you check the loft?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we will talk to you about another date.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
Landlord roof surveys around Sarisbury Green
Sarisbury Green lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Sarisbury Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For landlords with property near Swanwick station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you live in an older home near Church of St Paul, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
