- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

How a landlord roof survey works in Blackmoor
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a photo-illustrated written report to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. If you’ve noticed parapets and upstands in poor repair and gutters overflowing onto walls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats alike.
In a village or hamlet like Blackmoor, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few 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. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often last around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Why get it checked now?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Blackmoor, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Blackmoor
Is my home in Blackmoor listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Liss station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Do you work in Blackmoor?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Blackmoor.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Blackmoor
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you look after a building such as St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For landlords with property near Liss 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 Matthew's Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Deal with urgent items first
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
What we do, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Around Blackmoor, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is 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.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
