Landlord roof survey in Toothill
The lease usually decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. 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, gutters and downpipes and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are choked outlets and gutters and standing water on a flat roof.
In a village or hamlet like Toothill, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Toothill: your questions answered
Is Toothill within the area you cover?
Yes. Toothill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Romsey station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
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.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Toothill
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Why it is worth a survey now in Toothill
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you are asking contractors to price. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Toothill, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Why us?
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- 98% of clients satisfied

How it works
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Toothill, the journey is planned beforehand: 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 start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
How to book
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
Advice
Checking the roof from the ground
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
What affects the price in Toothill
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How big the roof is
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The property’s address and postcode
When you are ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Toothill
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
We are often asked to look at:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Flashings that have come away
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
Take a building like The Mountbatten School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Landlord roof surveys around Toothill
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Toothill, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
South Stoneham House lies about 4.3 miles south-east, so building around Toothill goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby frequently mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. For landlords with property near Romsey station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
