Landlord roof survey in Wigley: what you get
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. If you are worried about chimney stacks in poor repair and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Wigley, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What we look for on each type of roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather and get close attention.
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Wigley
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Wigley, 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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Landlords with a home close to Totton station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. With Landford Manor about 4.4 miles north-west, the area around Wigley has a long history. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done.
Wigley is about 3 miles north-west of Totton, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in Wigley, we can carry out landlord roof surveys at your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.

Leave it or get it looked at?
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. Older and listed buildings around Wigley may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why us?
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Visits on any day of the week
- Clear package prices, including VAT
- Two decades and more of roof surveys

The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. On timing, most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like Wigley can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Wigley: your questions answered
Will you come out to Wigley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Totton station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Wigley?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.

Practical tips
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Arrange flat access beforehand
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.

All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages

- Anything about access we should know
