Landlord roof survey in Headley: what you get
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. 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, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. Typical surveys look at damaged pots and flaunching and ceiling stains reported by tenants, on rented houses, converted houses and blocks of flats.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What affects the price in Headley
To price your survey, we check:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
What to let us know when you contact us
When you call or email, these details help:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- When you need the report by
We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often last around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We go into the loft where it is safe, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Headley: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Headley is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Liphook station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps with budgets and planning.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
What we are asked to look at in Headley
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling, by which point the damage has spread.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Blocked gutters over flats
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.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What insurance they carry
- How soon the report will arrive
Landlord roof surveys in Headley: local notes
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. 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 is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you look after a building such as The Holme Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of All Saints, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Ask residents to report damp right away
You receive a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
