Landlord Roof Survey in Standford
Find out the condition of the let or shared roof at your property in Standford. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Standing water on a flat roof
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Standford can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Advice
About our landlord roof survey in Standford
We survey let and shared roofs in Standford and across London and South East England. A visit normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at cracked or leaning shared chimneys and cracked or lifting flashings, across shared roofs, blocks of flats and rented houses.
Somewhere as small as Standford, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Most points in the report come with a picture, 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.

Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Arrange flat access in advance
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.

What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys frequently let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you. What our survey covers.

Questions from Standford
Is Standford within the area you cover?
Yes. Standford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Liphook station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
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 we’ll say so.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.

Landlord roof surveys around Standford
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. 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. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
The streets around a church such as St Mark's Sacred Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For landlords with property near Liphook station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Weyford Nursery and Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
