Landlord Roof Survey in Chithurst
A careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Chithurst, and put it all in a report with photos.
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Cracked or lifting flashings
Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
How a landlord roof survey works in Chithurst
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to see how the roof is changing. If you’ve noticed flashings that have come away and gutters overflowing onto walls, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Chithurst, homes are frequently 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.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Chithurst questions
Is my home in Chithurst 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’s 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.
Is Chithurst within the area you cover?
Yes, Chithurst is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details as you book.
Do you need access to all the flats?
Sometimes, yes. If the loft space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Chithurst?
Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Roof by roof
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
We confirm the exact price before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The roof’s overall size
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Which survey package you book
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- When you need the report by
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Common roof problems in Chithurst
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
Take a building like Stedham Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- What insurance they carry
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What exactly goes into their report
How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Chithurst can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Advice
Local roofs in Chithurst
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. About 3.1 miles east lies Cowdray House, a reminder of how long the area around Chithurst has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Liphook station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live in an older home near Chithurst Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
