Landlord roof survey in Bordon, Hampshire
Get a clear view of the let or shared roof at a property in Bordon. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
How a landlord roof survey works in Bordon
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey rented houses, converted houses and blocks of flats, and people most frequently book us about flashings that have come away and chimney stacks in poor repair.
Around Bordon, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are normally where the work is. Nails and battens under older coverings frequently give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.

Bordon questions
How do I find out if my home in Bordon is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
I let a flat near Liphook station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Bordon
Landlords, agents and building managers in Bordon and across Hampshire can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Bordon
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain frequently means water has been coming in for some time. A survey looks at the roof itself. Homes in smaller places like Bordon can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why us?
- An independent look at the roof
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Package prices that include VAT
Local roofs in Bordon
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Take a building like Bordon Infant School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Take an older house close to St Mark's Sacred Church: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Liphook station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What happens on the day
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Bordon is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
