Brambridge questions
How do I find out if my home in Brambridge is listed?
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.
Are there drone restrictions around Brambridge?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. The flight restriction zone around Southampton Airport comes within about 1 mile of Brambridge. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe. You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Brambridge?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How a roof survey works in Brambridge
Across London and the South East, roofs differ widely. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, flat roofs and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gutters that overflow in heavy rain and loose ridge or hip tiles.
In a small place like Brambridge, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Brambridge, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- 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.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Brambridge
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The flight restriction zone around Southampton Airport comes within about 1 mile of Brambridge. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the exact boundary for the address before flying.
Take a building like Colden Common Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. With South Stoneham House about 4.5 miles south-west, the area around Brambridge has a long history. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Why act early in Brambridge
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, which makes later changes easy to spot. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and what we found on two real jobs.
What we look for on each type of roof
Natural slate
Slate is one of the most durable roof coverings, yet the nails holding it often fail long before the slate. We check for slipped, cracked and missing slates.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly.
For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What affects the price in Brambridge
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
