Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Liss Forest
Roofs vary a lot across London and South East England. 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. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. Typical surveys look at loose ridge or hip tiles and debris building up in roof valleys, across flat roofs, the roof space and chimney stacks.
In a small place like Liss Forest, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Common questions in Liss Forest
How do I find out if my home in Liss Forest is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can a landlord with a rental near Liss station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we’ll say so.
What do you check on a roof survey?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the loft space where there’s safe access. You get a report with photographs and recommendations.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
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.
How much does a roof survey cost in Liss Forest?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it’s agreed before booking.
Do you work in Liss Forest?
Yes. We carry out roof surveys in Liss Forest.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
We confirm the price for the job before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
For a price for your roof in Liss Forest, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
What we need to know
We’ll usually ask about:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.
Why act early in Liss Forest
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than waiting for something to fail. In a place like Liss Forest, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Why book us in Liss Forest
- Clear package prices, with VAT included
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
See our cost guide or our case studies.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Liss Forest often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
Common roof problems in Liss Forest
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Lead is also a target for theft.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
Take a building like Liss Infant School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What insurance they carry
Roof surveys around Liss Forest
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you own a rental within reach of Liss station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Saviour's, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- File the report with your home documents
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. You can ask us about anything that isn’t clear.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
