About our landlord roof survey in Wymering
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The loft 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. Common reasons to book are choked outlets and gutters and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, across converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats.
In a smaller place like Wymering, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are normally where the work is. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

FAQs for Wymering
How do I find out if my home in Wymering is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Cosham station?
Yes, that is 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.
How do I book a survey in Wymering?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents frequently choose the package that suits the building.
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.

What we’re asked to look at in Wymering
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
Trees in and around Alexandra Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Wymering, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Arrange a survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Local roofs in Wymering
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Wymering, 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. About 4.8 miles east lies Warblington Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Wymering has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Take a building like Medina 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 Tricorn Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
