A careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Rogate, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Flashings that have come away
How a landlord roof survey works in Rogate
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. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We’re often asked to look into leaking joints at party walls and standing water on a flat roof, on flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Rogate
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Rogate. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Why it is worth a survey now in Rogate
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. In a place like Rogate, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

Common questions in Rogate
Do you cover smaller places like Rogate?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is my home in Rogate listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
A visit typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. The lease typically decides who is responsible, and that is a legal question. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
What this survey can’t tell you
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Rented houses
- Shared roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often last around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings where it’s safe to see them.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Rogate
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses such as Uppark, about 4.1 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Rogate goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Liss station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rogate CofE Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Useful tips for Rogate property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Tell tenants when we are coming
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Keep the loft space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.

How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Cottages and farmhouses around Rogate often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you beforehand.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare

- Let us know about parking before the day
