Landlord roof survey in Deadwater: what you get
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It doesn’t give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. Common reasons to book are ponding or splits on flat roofs and leaks into upper flats, across blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Deadwater drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- House, block, shop or office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Roof area
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
Deadwater homes and their roofs
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Mill Chase Academy will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Mark's Sacred Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Liphook station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Deadwater
I let a flat near Liphook station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Deadwater is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How do I book a survey in Deadwater?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Do you work in Deadwater?
Yes, we do. Deadwater is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a smaller place like Deadwater, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave side gates unlocked
Getting a price
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- File each roof report for future reference
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
How soon the report arrives depends 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.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Why it is worth a survey now in Deadwater
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. In a smaller place like Deadwater, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
