Why it’s worth a survey now in Bramshaw

A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. In a small place like Bramshaw, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Landlord roof survey in Bramshaw

A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and blocks of flats, and the problems we are asked to look at most are missing or loose roof coverings and loose ridge or hip tiles.

Somewhere as small as Bramshaw, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.

Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Before and after the survey

A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:

  • Hold on to old reports to compare later
  • Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
  • Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
  • Put urgent roof work at the top of the list

The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.

Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Bramshaw?

Shared roofs can fall between owners. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.

It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:

  • Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
  • Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
  • Leaks into upper flats
  • Gutters overflowing onto walls

If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Their drone registration, if they fly one
  • Whether the inside of the roof is included
  • Their track record with similar roofs
  • Will the report include photos?

What to expect from a roof survey

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Bramshaw

With Landford Manor about 2.3 miles north, Bramshaw sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.

Bramshaw is about 5 miles west of Totton, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Bramshaw is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Bramshaw is one of the places in Hampshire we cover. For surveys nearby, see our Southampton page.

Bramshaw questions

Will you come out to Bramshaw?

Yes. Bramshaw is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.

How do I find out if my home in Bramshaw is listed?

We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.

Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?

No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.

Are you insured?

Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.

Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?

Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.

How much is a landlord roof survey?

Our price is from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Honest limits

No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:

  • The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
  • The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
  • Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)

If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

What we look at

  • Flat roofs on blocks
  • Converted houses
  • Blocks of flats
  • Gutters and downpipes
  • Rented houses
  • Shared roofs

How it works

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 typically takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Bramshaw needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.

  1. First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
  2. You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
  3. We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
  4. Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
  5. A written condition report follows to help you plan.

Before we arrive

  • Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
  • Show us where any leaks or stains appear
  • Leave side gates unlocked

How to book

Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
