FAQs for Bramshott Chase
Is my home in Bramshott Chase listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Bramshott Chase within the area you cover?
Yes, Bramshott Chase is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How many surveys have you done?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No. Who pays is typically set by the lease, and that’s a legal question. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
About our landlord roof survey in Bramshott Chase
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on any day of the week, which can make access easier to arrange. We survey gutters and downpipes, converted houses and rented houses, and people most frequently book us about leaking joints at party walls and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings.
Older buildings in small places like Bramshott Chase 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
It is useful to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and does not.

Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and the rest budgeted for later.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults usually get worse.
How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Bramshott Chase can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Getting a price
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. Any problems are photographed.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:

- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- House, block, shop or office
- Roof area
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Landlord roof surveys in Bramshott Chase: local notes
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. 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. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you own a rental within reach of Haslemere station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Anyone responsible for a site like Woolmer Hill School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Luke, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
