Roof survey in Trotton Marsh
There are three levels of survey: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photographs and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. Typical surveys look at slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters, on natural slate, ridges, hips and valleys and flat roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Trotton Marsh 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from the ground. You might pay for work that does not fix the real problem, or miss the fault that matters. We tell you what’s really needed. Outbuildings and barns around Trotton Marsh are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit usually takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Older roofs in small places like Trotton Marsh can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- 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 we arrive
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Questions from Trotton Marsh
I let a flat near Liphook station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Is my home in Trotton Marsh listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are checked from your side.
What does a roof survey include?
All the main parts of the roof: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
How long does the visit take?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Report times depend on the package.
How do I book a survey in Trotton Marsh?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.

Roof surveys in Trotton Marsh: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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 the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
We look at the stack itself, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. We will tell you if the flue needs a specialist.
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Keep the report with your property records
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Look at your roof from ground level after strong winds. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
