Roof Maintenance Eastleigh

Free — every roof survey we carry out in Eastleigh is free of charge and includes a written condition report. We never charge for surveys on Eastleigh residential properties.

For Eastleigh's 1950s–70s post-war concrete tile properties: every 3–5 years is appropriate given the nail sickness. Properties over 50 years old should be surveyed every 2–3 years. Annual gutter clearing is recommended for all Eastleigh properties.

Ladder inspection of all elevations, gutter clearing, written condition report with findings categorised as Immediate Action, Watch List and Budget Ahead. Loft inspection where accessible. Minor repairs (resealing a joint, clearing a blocked valley) carried out on the day at agreed day rate.

Yes — many Eastleigh homeowners book annual or biennial maintenance visits. We send a reminder before the anniversary and attend at a convenient time. No minimum commitment required.

Typical day-of minor repairs on Eastleigh maintenance visits: gutter joint reseal, valley outlet clearing, cracked or slipped tile replacement, lead joint redress, chimney pot cap check. These are carried out at an agreed day rate — confirmed before proceeding.

Yes — our written condition reports serve as maintenance documentation for insurance purposes. Eastleigh homeowners with documented maintenance records are in a stronger position when claiming storm damage. Reports are issued after every visit.

Proactive maintenance on Eastleigh properties identifies developing problems before they cause interior damage. A £350 ridge rebed identified on a survey prevents a £2,000–£4,000 plaster repair when the ridge fails in a storm. The maintenance cost over 10 years is typically lower than the reactive repair cost.

Yes — all accessible roof elements including flat roof extensions are inspected on every Eastleigh maintenance visit. Many Eastleigh 1950s–70s post-war concrete tile properties have rear extension flat roofs that require monitoring as they approach end of felt life.

Yes — a one-off survey with no ongoing commitment is available for any Eastleigh property. This is appropriate for pre-purchase surveys, post-storm assessments, or simply confirming the current condition of an older roof.

We photograph all findings, describe them clearly in the written report, and discuss options with you. We never carry out work outside the agreed scope without explicit authorisation. A maintenance survey that reveals significant issues results in a written quote for the remedial work — no surprise invoicing.
