Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Southington
We survey let and shared roofs in Southington and across London and the South East. Time on site normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. If you’re worried about damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and flashings that have come away, we can find out what’s behind it, on blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs alike.
Some older homes in villages like Southington are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. 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.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Roof by roof
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. Any problems are photographed.
Shared chimney stacks
Damp in a chimney breast can start at the top of the stack. We record anything visible.
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof

What we’re asked to look at in Southington
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. They all age at different rates, and flat roofs over rear additions frequently need attention sooner.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
Landlords with a home close to Overton station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the survey will not cover
- Their report turnaround times
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Southington homes and their roofs
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take a building like Overton Church of England Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Southington, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
