How a landlord roof survey works in Lower Green
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you are worried about leaking joints at party walls and slipped or missing slates and tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, on converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs alike.
Older buildings in small places like Lower Green may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

When to book a survey in Lower Green
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs or when.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Damaged pots and flaunching
Landlords with a home close to Liss station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What exactly goes into their report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Is VAT included in the price?

The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes about one to two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Lower Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Advice
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- File each roof report for future reference
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Keep the loft space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Why act early in Lower Green
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. For older village homes like those around Lower Green, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that is hard to see. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Lower Green
Is my home in Lower Green listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Green?
Yes, Lower Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with residents’ and RTM management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No. Our survey covers the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
What affects the price in Lower Green
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Height and safe access
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Lower Green
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
