Landlord roof survey in Steep
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We can’t advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. If you’ve noticed leaks into upper flats and cracked or lifting flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Steep, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. For an older or listed building in a place like Steep, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.
Why book us in Steep
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- An independent view of the roof
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- 5,000+ surveys completed
When to book a survey in Steep
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What the survey will not cover
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Steep
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Steep often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- 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.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Getting a price
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Deal with urgent items first
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.
Steep questions
Is my home in Steep listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Petersfield station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Steep homes and their roofs
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Landlords with a home close to Petersfield station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Anyone responsible for a site like Steep Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
