Landlord Roof Survey in Blissford
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Blissford? You can book a landlord roof survey in Blissford and across Hampshire.
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair

What happens if roof problems are left?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. In a place like Blissford, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Why book us in Blissford
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- An independent view of the roof
- Two decades and more of roof surveys

How a landlord roof survey works in Blissford
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them, along with the loft space where there is safe access. If you’ve noticed ponding or splits on flat roofs and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped, we can find out what’s behind it, on converted houses, rented houses and gutters and downpipes alike.
Somewhere as small as Blissford, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Checking the roof from the ground
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Blissford homes and their roofs
About 3.8 miles north lies Breamore House, a reminder of how long the area around Blissford has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Anyone responsible for a site like Hyde Church of England Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For an older house near a landmark like Church of the Holy Ascension, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Blissford questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Blissford?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Blissford is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Blissford within the area you cover?
Yes. Blissford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Larger buildings are priced to suit, so ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
How long will you be on site?
It typically takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
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. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
How it works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Older roofs in small places like Blissford can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Arrange a survey

How we price landlord roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Roof area
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
