Common roof problems in West Liss
Many people book because something does not look right. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before the job is closed.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- When you’ll get the report
- Will the report include photos?
- What the survey won’t cover
- Are they insured for the work?
About our new roof snagging in West Liss
Our snagging inspections cover West Liss and the rest of London and South East England. A visit usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey flashings and valleys, ridges and verges and new flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are offcuts and broken tiles left behind and verge tiles or slates not secured.
Being in a small place like West Liss makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. 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. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Buying a home or a new roof in West Liss
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Liss station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Leave it or get it looked at?

West Liss questions
How do I find out if my home in West Liss 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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in West Liss?
Yes, West Liss is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What we cannot see
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- A promise that the roof will not leak

What else we do in West Liss
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere like West Liss needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
