How a landlord roof survey works in Hill Brow
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. If you’re worried about worn ridges, hips and verges and ceiling stains reported by tenants, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Hill Brow, homes are often 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. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What a landlord roof survey does not cover
It is a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.

Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets frequently clog, and standing water follows. They’re checked during the survey.
What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take an hour or two for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Hill Brow, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Book a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Related advice
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Hill Brow
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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. Older buildings may be listed or sit 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.
Take an older house close to Rake Mission Church: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Liss Junior School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

When to book a survey in Hill Brow

- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Worn ridges, hips and verges

Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.

Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Hill Brow
