Flat and commercial roofs around Weavers Down
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
Anyone responsible for a site like Liphook Church of England Controlled Junior School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. For landlords with property near Liphook station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

Electronic leak detection in Weavers Down
There are different ELD methods. Low-voltage methods typically need a wet roof surface, while high-voltage testing needs a dry, exposed membrane. The right method depends on the membrane and the build-up of the roof, and we will explain our choice. If neither method suits your roof, we’ll tell you at the outset. Common reasons to book are leaks through a covered membrane and new roofs to check before paving or planting, on roof terraces and balconies, flat roof membranes and liquid-applied waterproofing.
Older buildings in small places like Weavers Down may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

FAQs for Weavers Down
How do I find out if my home in Weavers Down is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Weavers Down in the area you cover?
Yes, Weavers Down is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Weavers Down as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
What happens after the survey?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Weavers Down
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Other services in Weavers Down
What happens if roof problems are left?
Opening up a roof to hunt for a leak is disruptive. Electronic testing finds the hole first so your roofer knows where to work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Weavers Down can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey normally takes a length of time set by the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. In a small place like Weavers Down, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
