Landlord Roof Survey in Liss
Landlord roof surveys in Liss, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Leaks into upper flats
How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey usually takes an hour or two for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Liss, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

About our landlord roof survey in Liss
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. If you’re worried about leaking joints at party walls and chimney stacks in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Liss 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. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What affects the price in Liss
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- House, block, shop or office
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the exact price before booking.
What we need to know
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
When to book a survey in Liss
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
Take a building like Liss Infant School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether the price includes VAT
Liss homes and their roofs
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. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. 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. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Landlords with a home close to Liss station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Liss is about 3 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Liss, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Our Hampshire coverage includes Liss. For surveys nearby, see our Portsmouth page.
We work across GU33 for landlord roof surveys and the streets around it.

Neighbouring places we cover for landlord roof surveys include West Liss (1 mile south-west), The Mint (1 mile north-east), Liss Forest (1 mile north), Hill Brow (1 mile south-east) and Durford Wood (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover Havant (13 miles south), Horndean (11 miles south-west), Aldershot (15 miles north), Alton (8 miles north-west), Waterlooville (13 miles south-west) and Petersfield (3 miles south-west).
Near you in Liss
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Whistle Stop pub, among other places. Liss has its own railway station: Liss station. Nearby you will also find Petersfield Community Hospital (3.6 miles south-west) and Bear Museum (3.5 miles south-west). Not far away are Liss Riverside Railway Walk South and Wheatham Hill.
Checking the roof from the ground
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Liss: your questions answered
Is my home in Liss listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to Liss?
Yes, Liss is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
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.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Liss?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets often clog leaving water standing. They’re checked during the survey.
