Landlord Roof Survey in Lindford
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats for Lindford and the rest of Hampshire. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
Why get it checked now?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Homes in smaller places like Lindford can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Why book with us
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Prices that include VAT
- Every finding written up with photos

Landlord roof survey in Lindford
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on any day of the week, which can make access easier to arrange. Common reasons to book are parapets and upstands in poor repair and leaks into upper flats, on converted houses, gutters and downpipes and rented houses.
In a smaller place like Lindford, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are typically where the work is. The fixings under an older roof frequently fail before good slates or tiles do.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Homes around Lindford frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Tell us about parking before the day

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Give residents notice before a survey
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and the rest budgeted for later.
Keep the roof space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Lindford
Will you come out to Lindford?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Lindford?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No. Our survey covers the roof, not the whole building. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Do you need access to all the flats?
That depends on the layout. Often we need the loft and certain flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We tell you what’s needed when you book.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Lindford
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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Weyford Nursery and Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
