Landlord roof survey in Oakshott: what you get
The lease normally decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We don’t give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you are worried about leaks into upper flats and chimney stacks in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Oakshott 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What else we do in Oakshott
Landlords, agents and block managers in Oakshott
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Oakshott can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- 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 be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Why it is worth a survey now in Oakshott
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. A ceiling stain frequently means water has been coming in for some time. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. Older cottages and farmhouses around Oakshott can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Why us?
- Packages from £150, including VAT
- Surveys seven days a week

Useful tips for Oakshott property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we check them closely.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see.
Oakshott questions
How do I find out if my home in Oakshott is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Liss station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you cover Oakshott?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Oakshott included.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Oakshott
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. 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, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you own a rental within reach of Liss station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter and St Paul, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
