Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bartley
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Each defect is described with photographs and a recommendation, and where it is relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where it applies and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. Common reasons to book are gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists, on the roof space, chimney stacks and clay and concrete tiles.
In a village or hamlet like Bartley, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Do you need a roof survey in Bartley?
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Strong gusts work at anything that isn’t firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Look out for signs like these:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
Anyone responsible for a site like Bartley Church of England Junior School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Questions from Bartley
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bartley?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Bartley?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, like serious sagging, we’ll say so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
How soon is the report ready?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photographs.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Do you go up on the roof?
Where it is safe, yes. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the roof space. On Premium, a drone is used where applicable.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- A structural engineer’s report
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.

- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs
- The roof space
Why get it checked now?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from the ground. That can lead to the wrong work being done, or miss the fault that matters. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. For an older or listed building in a place like Bartley, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
Why us?

What affects the cost of roof surveys
We confirm the price for your roof before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The roof’s overall size
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The property’s address and postcode
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
Roof surveys in Bartley: local notes
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Bartley, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, while driving rain finds any gap. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you let a flat or house near Ashurst New Forest station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Near you in Bartley
We work in homes and buildings around Haywain pub and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Ashurst New Forest station, roughly 2.2 miles south-east.

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes an hour or two for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere like Bartley needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Find any records of previous roof work
