Landlord roof survey in Borden
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey rented houses, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are standing water on a flat roof and missing or loose roof coverings.
In a small place like Borden, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Borden questions
Do you cover smaller places like Borden?
Yes, Borden is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is my home in Borden listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders book it along with residents’ and RTM management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we’ll say so.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
How do I book a survey in Borden?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Borden
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Why get it checked now?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Around Borden, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded where we can see them safely.
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We check it where there’s safe access looking for water marks and gaps.

Landlord roof surveys around Borden
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The wider area around Borden has a long history of building, with Cowdray House about 4.4 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Liss station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Borden
On a shared roof, it is not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Cracked or lifting flashings
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- Are they insured for the work?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Is VAT included in the price?
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Borden, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Advice
Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- File each roof report for future reference
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
