Peel Common Roof Survey
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings for Peel Common, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaks rarely show up straight away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Peel Common, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why us?
- Package prices that include VAT
- Photographs and a written report every time

Roof survey in Peel Common: what you get
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We survey natural slate, ridges, hips and valleys and chimney stacks, and people most frequently book us about blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and lifted, split or missing lead flashings.
Older buildings in small places like Peel Common may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
How we price roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What made you get in touch
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
Peel Common questions
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Peel Common, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Are there drone restrictions around Peel Common?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Solent Airport is about 1 mile away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, like serious sagging, we will say so. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report.
How quickly will I get the report?
It depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. We send it by email.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How long will you be at the property?
The visit normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Peel Common
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Peel Common, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
If you run a business near Fareham Shopping Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Take an older house close to Peel Common Mission Church: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For landlords with property near Fareham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Older roofs in small places like Peel Common can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.

Advice
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Ponding, blistering, splits and cracked surfaces are the common warning signs. Upstands and outlets are checked too.
Lead flashings and valleys
Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. They get particular attention in every survey.
