Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Milland
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, and the loft space where there’s safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. Where it is relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. We survey flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space, and the problems we are asked to look at most are loose chimney pots and debris building up in roof valleys.
In a small place like Milland, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Somewhere like Milland needs a little journey planning: tell us 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.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Advice
Landlord and commercial surveys in Milland
Landlords and agents in Milland book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.

Common questions in Milland
Can a landlord with a rental near Liphook station book a roof survey?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
How do I find out if my home in Milland is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How much does a roof survey cost in Milland?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
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.
How long will you be at the property?
On site, it typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Report times depend on the package.
What you can safely check yourself
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
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.
Roof surveys in Milland: local notes
About 4.7 miles south-east lies Cowdray House, a reminder of how long the area around Milland has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Hollycombe Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Take an older house close to Tuxlith Chapel: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Milland is about 6 miles east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Milland is one of many places we visit across Hampshire, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Our Hampshire coverage includes Milland. We also survey roofs in Guildford.
We work across the GU30 postcode area for roof surveys and the streets around it.

Within a short drive, we also cover Havant (14 miles south-west), Horndean (13 miles south-west), Aldershot (15 miles north), Alton (11 miles north-west), Waterlooville (15 miles south-west) and Petersfield (6 miles west).
Near you in Milland
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to The Rising Sun pub and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Liphook station, about 2.4 miles north of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Midhurst Community Hospital (4.3 miles south-east). Not far away are Wheeler's Down and Lynchmere Commons.
Common roof problems in Milland
The underlay under the coverings matters too. Breathable membranes only appeared in the UK in the late 1990s, so many older roofs have bitumen felt underlay, and some very old roofs have no underlay at all. Felt that has torn or perished stops doing its job.
Common reasons to book include:
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
What to check before booking
- What insurance they carry
- What happens after the report arrives
- What they will not be able to tell you
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
