Landlord roof survey in Steep Marsh
We survey let and shared roofs in Steep Marsh and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe including by drone where applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you’ve noticed ceiling stains reported by tenants and chimney stacks in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Steep Marsh may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Local roofs in Steep Marsh
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a building such as Steep Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Deal with urgent items first
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a village or hamlet like Steep Marsh, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

Questions from Steep Marsh
Do you cover smaller places like Steep Marsh?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can a landlord with a rental near Petersfield station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. 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.
What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one

- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
