For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
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.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Headley Down
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Headley Down and the rest of London and the South East. A visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. We survey shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are cracked or lifting flashings and damp or stains in top-floor flats.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Headley Down drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Being in a smaller place like Headley Down does not change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
Arrange a survey
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that is hard to see. They’re checked where safe access allows.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather, so we look at them closely.
Useful tips for Headley Down property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.

- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access

When you need someone else
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Headley Down
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you look after a building like The Holme Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For landlords with property near Liphook station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Questions from Headley Down
How do I find out if my home in Headley Down is listed?
