Landlord Roof Survey in Brambridge
We take a careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Brambridge, with photos and a written report.
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Flashings that have come away
- Standing water on a flat roof
Common roof problems in Brambridge
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Everyone may think someone else is responsible, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
Landlords with a home close to Shawford station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Their report turnaround times
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Landlord roof survey in Brambridge
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told in advance. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey converted houses, blocks of flats and shared roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are chimney stacks in poor repair and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Somewhere as small as Brambridge, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Brambridge
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. South Stoneham House, about 4.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Brambridge. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Colden Common Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. The streets around a church such as Church of the Holy Trinity are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Brambridge is about 2 miles north-east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Brambridge, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Brambridge is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We also survey roofs in Southampton.

How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Brambridge can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Common questions in Brambridge
Is Brambridge within the area you cover?
Yes, Brambridge is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Shawford station?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the building.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT.
What this survey can’t tell you
A survey is a close look at the let or shared roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.
