Brockbridge questions

Is Brockbridge within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Is my home in Brockbridge listed or in a conservation area?

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.

How experienced are you?

More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.

What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?

Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Blocks are priced on their size and roofs. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us for a price.

Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?

No, we do not advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.

Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?

We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

Will you check the loft?

If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Brockbridge

The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We can’t advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We are often asked to look into ceiling stains reported by tenants and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, across rented houses, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks.

Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.

You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Brockbridge

Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.

If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary and All Saints, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Brockbridge is about 4 miles east of Bishop's Waltham, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Brockbridge, we can survey the roof. Brockbridge is one of the places in Hampshire where we work. Portsmouth is in our area too.

Roof by roof

Roof spaces and lofts

On blocks, the roof space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch and you’ll need to arrange it.

Gutters and downpipes

Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. Any problems are photographed.

Should I look at the roof myself first?

It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.

What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

What happens on the day

We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older roofs in small places like Brockbridge can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.

  1. First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
  2. Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
  3. We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
  4. We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
  5. A written condition report follows to help you plan.

Getting ready for the survey

  • Show us where any leaks or stains appear
  • If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
  • For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Getting a price

To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.

Advice

Tips from our surveys

Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:

  • Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
  • Give residents notice before a survey
  • Ask residents to report damp straight away
  • Survey the roof on a regular cycle

Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.

Keep the loft space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Brockbridge

Landlords, agents and building managers in Brockbridge and across Hampshire can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Brockbridge?

Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs or when.

Look out for signs like these:

  • Damp or stains in top-floor flats
  • Missing or loose roof coverings
  • Standing water on a flat roof
  • Worn ridges, hips and verges

Take a building like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What to check before booking

  • Their drone registration, if they fly one
  • Which limits apply to the survey
  • Whether the price includes VAT
  • How long the report takes to arrive
