Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Stonehills
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We don’t give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey converted houses, rented houses and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and leaking joints at party walls.
Older buildings in small places like Stonehills 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.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What we’re asked to look at in Stonehills
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years, particularly on taller buildings.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
Take a building like Fawley Infant School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Landlord roof surveys in Stonehills: local notes
Stonehills 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. Beaulieu Palace House, about 4.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stonehills. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of All Saints, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Hamble station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Stonehills is about 4 miles south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Stonehills is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend.

What affects the price in Stonehills
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
- House, block, shop or office
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The address and postcode of the property
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
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.
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.
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)

Questions from Stonehills
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Stonehills?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Can a landlord with a rental near Hamble station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you work in Stonehills?
Yes. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Stonehills.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs are not included, but contractors can price from it.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes about one to two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Rural addresses near Stonehills can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
