Landlord Roof Survey in Walhampton
Not sure what state the let or shared roof is in? We carry out landlord roof surveys in Walhampton and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Damaged pots and flaunching
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Landlord roof survey in Walhampton
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey gutters and downpipes, rented houses and blocks of flats, and common reasons people get in touch are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and slipped or missing slates and tiles.
In a village or hamlet like Walhampton, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Walhampton
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Walhampton, take more of a battering?
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.
I let a flat near Lymington Town station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Walhampton?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
What affects the price in Walhampton
To price your survey, we check:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price before you book.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, so spending can be spread sensibly. Older and listed buildings around Walhampton may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. We will confirm the figure before booking.

Local roofs in Walhampton
Walhampton lies within about 1 mile of the sea, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. 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. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For an older house near a landmark such as United Reform Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lymington Church of England Infant School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey usually takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Around Walhampton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets in another room
Getting a price
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.
Related advice
When to book a survey in Walhampton
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. They all age at different rates, and flat roofs over rear additions often need attention sooner.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If you own a rental within reach of Lymington Town station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
