Landlord Roof Survey in South Hayling
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats for South Hayling, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. A visit to a smaller place like South Hayling is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Landlord roof survey in South Hayling: what you get
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need when you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you’ve noticed ceiling stains reported by tenants and gutters overflowing onto walls, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Around South Hayling, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

What affects the price in South Hayling
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The roof’s overall size
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
For a price for your roof in South Hayling, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The property’s address and postcode
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Unsure which package suits your roof? It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
What you can safely check yourself
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- File each roof report for future reference
- Deal with urgent items first
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
You receive a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
Why it’s worth a survey now in South Hayling
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, so spending can be spread sensibly. Around South Hayling, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.

What else we do in South Hayling
Landlord roof surveys around South Hayling
South Hayling lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. The wider area around South Hayling has a long history of building, with Warblington Castle about 3.9 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Take a building like Mengham Junior School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For landlords with property near Fratton station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

South Hayling questions
How do I find out if my home in South Hayling is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in South Hayling?
Frequently, yes. South Hayling is within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
