About our landlord roof survey in Milland
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders frequently 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. We survey blocks of flats, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are slipped or missing slates and tiles and choked outlets and gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Milland, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
With the Standard Survey, you also get 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.

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Landlord roof surveys around Milland
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Cowdray House about 4.7 miles south-east, Milland sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like Hollycombe Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Take an older house close to Tuxlith Chapel: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Milland is about 6 miles east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. In Milland, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Milland is one of the places in Hampshire we cover for landlord roof surveys. We also survey roofs in Guildford.
Surveys in GU30 are booked the same way as anywhere else. Streets in the area include Milland Lane, Mill Vale Meadows and Drakeleys Field, and we cover them all. Other places close to Milland include Trotton Marsh (1 mile south), Borden (2 miles south-west), Rake (2 miles west), Chithurst (2 miles south) and Rogate (3 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Havant (14 miles south-west), Horndean (13 miles south-west), Aldershot (15 miles north), Alton (11 miles north-west), Waterlooville (15 miles south-west) and Petersfield (6 miles west).
Around Milland
We work in homes and buildings around The Rising Sun pub, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Liphook station, about 2.4 miles north. A little further out are Midhurst Community Hospital (4.3 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Wheeler's Down and Lynchmere Commons.
Why get it checked now?
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. Outbuildings and barns around Milland are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.
Why book with us
- 20+ years’ experience
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance

- Visits on any day of the week
Take a look at what a roof survey costs and our case studies.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Milland?
On a shared roof, it is not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Look out for signs like these:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Flashings that have come away
If you own a rental within reach of Liphook station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What experience they bring
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
What we cannot see
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Responsibility under a lease
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you before you book. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Deal with urgent items first
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.
What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older roofs in small places like Milland can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will 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 the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Common questions in Milland
Is my home in Milland 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. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can a landlord with a rental near Liphook station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Milland?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we will talk to you about another date.
