For landlords and managing agents
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Landlord roof survey in Wallington
The lease usually decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We cannot advise on what your lease says, 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. If you’ve noticed choked outlets and gutters and cracked or lifting flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Wallington drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that is hard to see. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see.
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected where they can be seen.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Height and safe access
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Roof area
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.
Tips that help
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- File each roof report for future reference
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. The report is written in plain language.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Wallington homes and their roofs
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Wallington, 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, while driving rain finds any gap. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wykeham House School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Fareham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you run a business near Fareham Shopping Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

Wallington: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wallington?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Wallington, take more of a battering?
Frequently, yes. Wallington is within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
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 it applies, the Premium Survey.
Is Wallington in your area?
Yes. We cover Wallington and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across London and South East England. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How do I book a survey in Wallington?
Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a smaller place like Wallington, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- 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.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
