Conford: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Conford?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Conford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
About our roof survey in Conford
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run seven days a week, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, the roof space and lead flashings, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are valley linings that have cracked or split and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved.
Older buildings in small places like Conford may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead-lined valleys and gutters are common on older homes. Cracks in a lead valley can send water into the roof, and lead is a target for theft.
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, yet the nails holding it often fail long before the slate. We check for slipped, cracked and missing slates, and for clips that show past repairs.
Useful tips for Conford property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- File the report with your home documents
- Mention any damp patches when you book
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
File the report with your other home documents. It gives you something to compare against later, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Look at your roof from ground level after strong winds. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take an hour or two at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Conford, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Let us know about parking near the property
Getting a price
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
Roof surveys in Conford: local notes
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s 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. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For landlords with property near Liphook station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaks rarely show up right away. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. In a small place like Conford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Common roof problems in Conford
Not every roof problem comes from outside. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak, and it needs a different fix.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Loose chimney pots
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
Anyone responsible for a site like Liphook Infant School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
