Roof Survey in Deadwater

About our roof survey in Deadwater
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. We survey lead flashings, ridges, hips and valleys and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and loose chimney pots.
In a smaller place like Deadwater, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Common roof problems in Deadwater
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. On slate roofs, corroded nails let slates slip, which is known as ‘nail fatigue’. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone, letting tiles move.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
For landlords with property near Liphook station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Local roofs in Deadwater
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. 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. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
The streets around a church like St Mark's Sacred Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Anyone responsible for a site like Mill Chase Academy will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Questions from Deadwater
Is my home in Deadwater listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
I let a flat near Liphook station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How long does a roof survey take?
On site, it usually takes about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Report times depend on the package.
Do you go up on the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft.

How the survey works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. A visit to Deadwater is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us where we can park nearby
How to book

Prices for roof surveys in Deadwater
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- How big the roof is
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
Booking your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The property’s address and postcode
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
