Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Broadgate
South Stoneham House, about 4.9 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Broadgate. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mark, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you look after a building like Ampfield Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

How a landlord roof survey works in Broadgate
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. Common reasons to book are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and parapets and upstands in poor repair, on gutters and downpipes, converted houses and shared roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Broadgate may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Broadgate questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Chandlers Ford station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Broadgate is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s 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.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.
How do I book a survey in Broadgate?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.

The survey, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere as small as Broadgate, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings as far as can be seen safely.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
What affects the price in Broadgate
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- House, block, shop or office
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT.

Common roof problems in Broadgate
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
If you own a rental within reach of Chandlers Ford station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- What insurance they carry
What you can safely check yourself
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
When you need someone else
A survey is a careful look at the let or shared roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- A full structural assessment of the building
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.

- Gutters and downpipes
