Do you need a landlord roof survey in Weavers Down?
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible, so maintenance gets put off. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Cracked or lifting flashings
If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

How a landlord roof survey works in Weavers Down
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and shared roofs, and people most often book us about standing water on a flat roof and missing or loose roof coverings.
In a small place like Weavers Down, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Local roofs in Weavers Down
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Liphook Church of England Controlled Junior School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Weavers Down is about 7 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Weavers Down gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire. There’s also a page for Guildford.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Questions from Weavers Down
Is my home in Weavers Down listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Weavers Down?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How long will you be on site?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We’ll give you an idea as you book.
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
What else we do in Weavers Down
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Weavers Down can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

How the survey changes by roof type
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather, so we check them closely.
