Roof Survey in Liss
Roof surveys in Liss, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
What this survey cannot tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
- A full building survey of the property

About our roof survey in Liss
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We look at the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. You get a report with photographs and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We survey flat roofs, ridges, hips and valleys and natural slate, and people most often book us about crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and worn lead at chimneys and abutments.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Liss drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Questions from Liss
How do I find out if my home in Liss is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Liss?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when you book.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we’ll say so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Liss
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Checking the roof from ground level
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
What to tell us when you contact us
What helps most when you contact us:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The address and postcode of the property
- What made you get in touch
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
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.
Local roofs in Liss
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you let a flat or house near Liss station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take a building like Liss Infant School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. For a survey in Liss, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
