Passfield questions
How do I find out if my home in Passfield is listed?
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, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can a landlord with a rental near Liphook station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Is Passfield in your area?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Passfield included.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
About our landlord roof survey in Passfield
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. If you’re worried about mortar falling from ridges and verges and parapets and upstands in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Passfield, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Passfield
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. 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. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Take a building like Mill Chase Academy: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Landlords with a home close to Liphook station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

What this survey can’t tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you before booking. What a survey covers and does not.

Getting in touch
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. Older cottages and farmhouses around Passfield 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.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

Before and after the survey
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
How it works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere like Passfield needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
