What we’re asked to look at in Titchfield
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
If you run a business near Fareham Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Titchfield
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. We survey converted houses, blocks of flats and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are slipped or missing slates and tiles and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Checking the roof from the ground
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
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.

What else we do in Titchfield
The survey, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Titchfield needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Booking a survey

Advice
Landlord roof surveys in Titchfield: local notes
Titchfield is within about 2 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you own a rental within reach of Fareham station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Titchfield is about 2 miles west of Fareham, in Hampshire. Roofs in Titchfield get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Hampshire. Titchfield is one of the places in Hampshire where we work. Our Portsmouth page covers surveys nearby.

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Arrange flat access in advance
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Why it is worth a survey now in Titchfield
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
