Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wickham
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The roof space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need as you book. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters overflowing onto walls and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Wickham drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. It’s 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 the ground.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
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 else we do in Wickham
What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that’s hard to see. They’re checked where safe access allows.
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.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Wickham
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Why act early in Wickham
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. On a bungalow or cottage around Wickham, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we will tell you which fits.

Wickham questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Fareham station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Will you come out to Wickham?
Yes. Wickham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
What does a roof survey cost?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it’s agreed before booking.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Landlord roof surveys in Wickham: local notes
Wickham lies within about 4 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
For landlords with property near Fareham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Shop and office owners around Fareham Shopping Centre may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Nicholas, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a smaller place like Wickham, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking before the day
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
