Roof survey in Headley: what you get
There’s no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. The approach is the same in each case: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We survey natural slate, ridges, hips and valleys and the roof space, and common reasons people get in touch are leaning or weathered chimney stacks and worn lead at chimneys and abutments.
In a small place like Headley, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Questions from Headley
Can a landlord with a rental near Liphook station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Headley?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How do I book a survey in Headley?
To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
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, so we’d move the date with you.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Headley
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at. We note any lean or loose pots.
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead-lined valleys and gutters are common on older homes. Worn or split lead lets water straight in, and lead is a target for theft.
Why act early in Headley
Before you put a home on the market, it’s useful to know the roof’s condition. You will know what a buyer’s survey might pick up, or at least know what to expect. For older village homes like those around Headley, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask.

- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.

- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey

When to book a survey in Headley
What’s under the slates or tiles is as important as the coverings themselves. Breathable membranes only appeared in the UK in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt, and very old ones may have none. Torn or sagging felt lets water through.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
What to check before booking
- What the survey won’t cover
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Local roofs in Headley
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Holme Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
