What a survey costs

- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
What we need to know
We’ll usually ask about:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
How new roof snagging works in Bursledon
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice 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. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. Typical surveys look at verge tiles or slates not secured and underlay ending short at the eaves, across new flat roofs, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers.
In a smaller place like Bursledon, some houses face open ground, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather usually shows first. Whether you are buying or signing off new work, those edges deserve a close look. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof doesn’t stay small for long.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Local roofs and buyers in Bursledon
Bursledon lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
Take an older house close to St Paul’s Church: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. For landlords with property near Bursledon station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

FAQs for Bursledon
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bursledon?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Bursledon?
Yes. Bursledon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
How long will you be on site?
A visit normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We’ll give you an idea when you book.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
Are you insured?
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.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Common roof problems in Bursledon
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from the ground and you may be asked to pay anyway.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
Historic houses such as Medieval Merchant's House, about 4 miles west, show how far back building around Bursledon goes. Buying a period property here means asking about the roof’s age and repairs, and about any listing or conservation area.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What the survey will not cover
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Homes in smaller places like Bursledon can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Being in a smaller place like Bursledon doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
