What we are asked to look at in Standford
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that isn’t firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Debris building up in roof valleys
Landlords with a home close to Liphook station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What follow-up you get after the report
About our roof survey in Standford
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the roof space where there is safe access. You get a report with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We survey chimney stacks, natural slate and the roof space, and the problems we are asked to look at most are flashings that have come away from the wall and valley linings that have cracked or split.
In a village or hamlet like Standford, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Questions from Standford
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Liphook station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Do you cover smaller places like Standford?
Yes, Standford is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Standford?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
What insurance do you have?
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 tell me how long my roof will last?
We do not put a figure on it, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. Our report notes any materials that might, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM rubber around 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.
Chimney stacks
We look at the stack itself, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. If a specialist is needed, we’ll say so.

Roof surveys in Standford: local notes
Older buildings may be listed or sit 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 frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Weyford Nursery and Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you live in an older home near St Mark's Sacred Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
