Landlord roof survey in Liphook: what you get
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t give repair costs but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We survey flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and blocks of flats, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or leaning shared chimneys and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
Around Liphook, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Local roofs in Liphook
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. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
The streets around a church like St Mary's Church Centre are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Liphook station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Questions from Liphook
Is Liphook within the area you cover?
Yes, Liphook is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Liphook?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Liphook
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
What we cannot see
It is a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Responsibility under a lease
- A full building survey of every part of the property
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you before you book. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Liphook
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Rented houses
- Converted houses
- Shared roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Blocks of flats
Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Liphook?
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
If you look after a building like Bohunt School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Before you book anyone
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How big the roof is
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any marks or damp showing indoors

What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a survey in Liphook, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- 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 we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Find any records of previous roof work
