Questions from Broadgate
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Broadgate?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Broadgate?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Broadgate is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
New roof snagging in Broadgate
The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on before the deadline. If you’re worried about damage to other parts of the building and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Broadgate, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong and get a close look.
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
Why get it checked now?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Older and listed buildings around Broadgate may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What you get with us
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Visits on any day of the week

How the survey works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as Broadgate, access is frequently 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.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Check pets are kept safely away
Arrange a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
Advice
What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- How the roof will perform for years to come
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Broadgate homes and their roofs
With South Stoneham House about 4.9 miles south, Broadgate sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
Landlords with a home close to Chandlers Ford station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

What we’re asked to look at in Broadgate
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters and on extension roofs.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mark, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
