Roof survey in Bashley
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on any day of the week, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. Common reasons to book are blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and valley linings that have cracked or split, across flat roofs, lead flashings and chimney stacks.
In a small place like Bashley, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Keep the report with your property records
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Compare each report with the last.
When to book a survey in Bashley
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Water that gets into a stack can show up as damp in the rooms below.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
Highcliffe Castle, about 3.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bashley. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.
What to check before booking
- What exactly goes into their report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Their track record with similar roofs

Different roofs, different checks
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles, especially at the verges and ridge.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded.
What this survey cannot tell you
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- A full building survey of the property
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather

Your questions about roof surveys in Bashley
How do I find out if my home in Bashley is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can a landlord with a rental near New Milton station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
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 photos.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. Surveys run on any day of the week.
How much does a roof survey cost in Bashley?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Bashley
Bashley lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Landlords with a home close to New Milton station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take a building like Ballard School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. For a village or hamlet like Bashley, the journey is planned ahead of time: 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 is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Let us know where we can park nearby
