Landlord roof survey in Waterlooville
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. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. We survey gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are standing water on a flat roof and cracked or lifting flashings.
Waterlooville mixes older houses, frequently slate or clay tiled, with newer estates, many of them with concrete tiles. Older homes often keep chimney stacks long after the fireplaces went, and their flashings and pointing still matter. Newer homes have fewer chimneys but their own weak points at ridges, verges and gutters.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Waterlooville
Landlords and letting agents in Waterlooville book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area, so it needs arranging.
What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it typically takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a home in Waterlooville, the main things we need are a way into the loft, a route to the back garden and somewhere to park. If you won’t be there yourself, let us know who will let us in.
- 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.
- 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.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about parking near the property

Waterlooville questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Bedhampton station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Waterlooville?
Frequently, yes. Within about 3 miles of the sea, as Waterlooville is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Do you look in the roof space?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.

Useful tips for Waterlooville property owners
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
What we cannot see
It is a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report

What else we do in Waterlooville
Waterlooville homes and their roofs
Waterlooville lies within about 3 miles of the sea, 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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For landlords with property near Bedhampton station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you look after a building such as Hart Plain Junior School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Warblington Castle lies about 4 miles south-east, so building around Waterlooville goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby frequently mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.
