Landlord Roof Survey in Wickham Common
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Wickham Common? You can book a landlord roof survey in Wickham Common and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.

- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
How a landlord roof survey works in Wickham Common
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. Common reasons to book are choked outlets and gutters and mortar falling from ridges and verges, across converted houses, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks.
Somewhere as small as Wickham Common, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Landlord roof surveys in Wickham Common: local notes
Wickham Common lies within about 4 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building such as Wickham Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For businesses in and around places such as Fareham Shopping Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
Wickham Common is about 3 miles north-east of Fareham, in Hampshire. We carry out landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wickham Common. Our Hampshire coverage includes Wickham Common. Portsmouth is in our area too.

What affects the price in Wickham Common
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Building height and the viewpoints available

Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Why get it checked now?
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. Outbuildings and barns around Wickham Common are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

Common questions in Wickham Common
How do I find out if my home in Wickham Common is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Wickham Common?
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.
Is Wickham Common in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs in Wickham Common and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across London and South East England. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be, and the report says so.
How much time does the visit need?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Responsibility under a lease
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Blocks of flats
- Gutters and downpipes
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about one to two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Wickham Common, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- 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
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
