Roof survey in GU33: how it works

Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photographs and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Each one comes with a written report. Typical surveys look at valley linings that have cracked or split and condensation or damp timbers in the loft, across lead flashings, natural slate and clay and concrete tiles.

After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. As for time on site, it normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.

  1. We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
  2. We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
  3. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
  4. Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
  5. The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.

Local landmarks in Liss

In Liss, that means homes and buildings near Whistle Stop pub, Church of St Mary and Liss Infant School and the streets around them. Liss has its own railway station: Liss station. Nearby you’ll also find Petersfield Community Hospital (3.6 miles south-west) and Bear Museum (3.5 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Liss Riverside Railway Walk South and Wheatham Hill.

Homes and roofs across GU33

Across GU33, from Liss, West Liss and Hill Brow outwards, roofs range from old slate and clay tile to modern concrete tiles and flat roofs. Chimneys, valleys, flashings and gutters are typically where the work is.

The South East’s airspace includes flight restriction zones around several of its airports, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any drone flight in GU33. Flights that need permission only go ahead once it’s given.

Liss: The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Anyone responsible for a site like Liss Infant School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Common roof problems in GU33

Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors, particularly near trees.

Signs worth acting on include:

  • Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
  • Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
  • Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
  • Valley linings that have cracked or split

When you need someone else

Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:

  • What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
  • Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
  • Whether the roof structure meets design loads

Rented homes, blocks and businesses

Landlords and agents in GU33 book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.

If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.

What affects the cost of roof surveys

Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
  • Commercial roofs and larger buildings
  • Building height and the viewpoints available
  • The number of roofs, including extensions and garages

Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Helping us price your survey

What helps most when you contact us:

  • The kind of building and roof involved
  • Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
  • Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
  • Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them

Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Before and after the survey

From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:

  • Hold on to the report for future surveys
  • Let us know about past leaks
  • Move stored items away from the loft hatch
  • Leave roof access to professionals

The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. That helps you decide what to do first.

Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.

GU33 questions

Do you inspect the roof from on top?

When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft, and Premium includes a drone where it applies.

Do you need to get into the loft?

Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.

Does the weather affect the survey?

It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.

I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?

Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.

How much is a survey?

Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included.

Do you use drones?

Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.

How long does the visit take?

The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
