Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Shootash
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
Problems we come across often include:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Damaged pots and flaunching
Landlords with a home close to Romsey station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether VAT is added on top
Landlord roof survey in Shootash
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. The findings come in a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. We are frequently asked to look into flashings that have come away and standing water on a flat roof, on converted houses, shared roofs and rented houses.
In a village or hamlet like Shootash, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Local roofs in Shootash
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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Mottisfont Abbey, about 3 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Shootash. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Questions from Shootash
I let a flat near Romsey station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Shootash?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you cover Shootash?
Yes, we do. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Shootash, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Shootash can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Check pets are kept safely away
Book a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Related advice
Why act early in Shootash
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. In a small place like Shootash, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why book with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- 98% customer satisfaction
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Keep the loft space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
