Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. The report records it.
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes where they can be seen.
How a landlord roof survey works in Weston
We survey let and shared roofs in Weston and across London and South East England. A visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where it applies. You then get a report with photos. We survey rented houses, blocks of flats and converted houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damp or stains in top-floor flats and worn ridges, hips and verges.
In a small place like Weston, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
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.
Why it is worth a survey now in Weston
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. For older village homes like those around Weston, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Local roofs in Weston
With Uppark about 4 miles south-east, Weston sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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 is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Buriton Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Questions from Weston
Do you cover smaller places like Weston?
Yes, Weston is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Can a landlord with a rental near Petersfield station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
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. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Weston, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Arrange a survey
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
