Pre-purchase roof survey in Bramley Green
A RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey covers the whole building, so the roof is one item among many. Our survey isn’t a RICS survey, and it does not replace one. What it adds is a closer look at the roof alone, with photos and written recommendations you can act on. The two sit side by side. If you’ve noticed flashings that have lifted or split and standing water on a flat extension roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Being in a small place like Bramley Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Bramley Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Bramley Green?
Yes, Bramley Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you cover Bramley Green?
Yes, Bramley Green is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
When is the best time to have the roof checked when buying?
After your offer is accepted and before you exchange contracts. That gives you time to use the findings.
Do you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft, and a drone is part of the Premium Survey where applicable.
When will the report arrive?
It depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Let us know your timetable when you book.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Useful tips for Bramley Green property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Mention any deadline when you contact us
- Ask for any paperwork for recent roof work
- Find out whether the roof has been replaced or patched
- Give your solicitor a copy of the report
The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. If anything in the report is not clear, ask us.
Keep the loft ventilated. Condensation in a roof space can look like a leak and can damage timbers over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents so air can move.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours at the house you’re buying, depending on its size and how much of the roof can be seen. In a small place like Bramley Green, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We help you pick the package that suits the property.
- A date is booked on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Standard and Premium surveys add the extra checks they include.
- We send the report with recommendations ranked by urgency, ready for you to discuss with the seller or agent.
Before the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Keep pets in another room
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Arrange a survey
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.

Roof by roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Many leaks start at a flashing, so we look at each one closely. Any that need attention are photographed and explained.
Gutters and parapets
Parapet and box gutters are hidden behind walls and can overflow inside. Where we can see them safely, we check the linings and outlets.
Common roof problems in Bramley Green
The fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles do. Good slate can last well over a century, but corroded nails let slates slip. That kind of wear is common on older roofs.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Blistered or split felt on a flat roof
- Flashings that have lifted or split
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or gone
- Damp timbers or stains in the loft
Landlords with a home close to Bramley (Hants) station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
