Landlord roof survey in Trotton Marsh
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. If you’ve noticed ceiling stains reported by tenants and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Trotton Marsh are 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

- Worn ridges, hips and verges

What to check before booking

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Trotton Marsh
I let a flat near Liphook station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is Trotton Marsh within the area you cover?
Yes. Trotton Marsh is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents frequently choose the package that suits the building.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older rural homes like those around Trotton Marsh 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.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- 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.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Find any records of previous roof work

What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
