Why get it checked now?
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, so spending can be spread sensibly. In an older home around Whitehill, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

How a landlord roof survey works in Whitehill
Landlords frequently book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders often want a 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’ve noticed splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped, we can find out what’s behind it, on converted houses, shared roofs and blocks of flats alike.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Whitehill drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Landlord roof surveys in Whitehill: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. 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. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
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. If you live in an older home near St Mark's Sacred Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Whitehill is about 6 miles south-east of Alton, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in Whitehill, we can carry out landlord roof surveys at your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire. Guildford is in our area too.

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Homes around Whitehill frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- 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 checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Getting a price
We confirm the price for the job before you book, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Common roof problems in Whitehill
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years, especially on taller buildings.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
If you look after a building such as Woodlea Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Questions to ask before booking
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Their insurance cover
Common questions in Whitehill
Is Whitehill within the area you cover?
Yes, Whitehill is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Whitehill is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How do I book a survey in Whitehill?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
