Landlord Roof Survey in Woolmer
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats for Woolmer, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- File each roof report for future reference
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Landlord roof survey in Woolmer
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told in advance. You or your agent arrange access and we will say what we need as you book. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. We’re often asked to look into parapets and upstands in poor repair and mortar falling from ridges and verges, across converted houses, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks.
Some older homes in villages like Woolmer are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

When to book a survey in Woolmer
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Missing or loose roof coverings
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What the survey won’t cover
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check

Common questions in Woolmer
How do I find out if my home in Woolmer is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Woolmer within the area you cover?
Yes, Woolmer is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
It depends on the building. Often we need the loft and certain flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We tell you what’s needed when booking.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
How do I book a survey in Woolmer?
Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No, it focuses on the roof. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. 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.
Landlord roof surveys in Woolmer: local notes
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. 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 is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
The streets around a church such as St Matthew's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Landlords with a home close to Liss station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Woolmer is about 2 miles south of Bordon, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Woolmer is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, large and small. We also survey roofs in Guildford.

What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere as small as Woolmer, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
