How we price landlord roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- House, block, shop or office
- The size of the roof
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Which survey package you book
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What made you get in touch
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before you book.
About our landlord roof survey in Wootton
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Wootton and the rest of London and the South East. A visit usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. We survey shared roofs, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or lifting flashings and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Somewhere as small as Wootton, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often 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. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Wootton questions
Do you cover smaller places like Wootton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Wootton, take more of a battering?
It can do. Wootton is within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Wootton?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
Our price is 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 use the contact form.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No, it focuses on the roof. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
The survey, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey usually takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Around Wootton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets in another room
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we check them closely.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. We give them close attention.
Wootton homes and their roofs
Wootton lies within about 4 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, while driving rain finds any gap. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
With Avon Tyrrell House about 3.2 miles west, the area around Wootton has a long history. If you own one of the older houses, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up. For landlords with property near New Milton station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you live in an older home near St John, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
