Liss Forest: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Liss Forest?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Liss Forest?
Yes, Liss Forest is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Liss Forest as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
How new roof snagging works in Liss Forest
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. It is all recorded with photos. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We survey ridges and verges, replacement roofs and new-build homes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gaps at new flashings and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered.
Being in a small place like Liss Forest makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

New roof snagging around Liss Forest
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you own a rental within reach of Liss station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. For an older house near a landmark like St Saviour's, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

- Send the snagging report to your roofer

Leave it or get it looked at?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Outbuildings and barns around Liss Forest are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.

For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the new roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older rural homes like those around Liss Forest can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Arrange a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
