When to book a survey in Brighton Hill
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.
Problems we come across often include:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
The streets around a church such as The Church Of Christ The King are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Before you book any roof surveyor

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Brighton Hill
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It doesn’t give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you’re worried about parapets and upstands in poor repair and blocked gutters over flats, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and rented houses alike.
In a smaller place like Brighton Hill, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are normally where the work is, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Why act early in Brighton Hill
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Around Brighton Hill, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, particularly where trees overhang. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

Common questions in Brighton Hill
I let a flat near Basingstoke station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
Is my home in Brighton Hill listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted as well as what could.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Local roofs in Brighton Hill
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around Brighton Hill has a long history of building, with The Vyne about 4 miles north. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live near a park such as Eastrop Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Take a building like Brighton Hill Community School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a smaller place like Brighton Hill, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you beforehand.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
