How a roof survey works in Lower Green
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Each defect is described with photos and a recommendation, and where it is relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. We survey flat roofs, ridges, hips and valleys and clay and concrete tiles, and people most often book us about ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists.
Older buildings in small places like Lower Green may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Roof surveys in Lower Green: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Lower Green is about 4 miles north of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We provide roof surveys for householders, landlords and businesses in Lower Green. Our Hampshire coverage includes Lower Green and the places around it. We also survey roofs in Portsmouth.

Roof by roof
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.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we check them too. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like Lower Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Book a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Common roof problems in Lower Green
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
If you own a rental within reach of Liss station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- How long the report takes to arrive

What else we do in Lower Green
Lower Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Green?
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.
Is my home in Lower Green listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, plus the loft space where there’s safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
How long will you be at the property?
It normally takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Do I need to be at home?
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.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Height and safe access
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before you book.
Leave it or get it looked at?
It’s easier to plan roof work than to react to it. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. In a small place like Lower Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
