Roof survey in Lindford: what you get
Roofs vary a lot across London and the South East. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. Common reasons to book are ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and lifted, split or missing lead flashings, across the roof space, natural slate and ridges, hips and valleys.
In a smaller place like Lindford, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Roof surveys around Lindford
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Weyford Nursery and Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Homes around Lindford often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Why get it checked now?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time. Around Lindford, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Why book with us
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Mention any damp patches when you book
- Stay off ladders and the roof
Your report arrives by email, with photos of what we found. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Each finding is set out in plain English.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Compare each report with the last.
Lindford: your questions answered
Is Lindford within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
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 we can send the report to you or your agent.
How quickly will I get the report?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report.
How much does a roof survey cost in Lindford?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The size of the roof
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The property’s address and postcode
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
