Common questions in Bramdean
Is Bramdean within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Bramdean in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Bramdean is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How long does a roof survey take?
Allow about one to two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We will give you an idea of timing as you book.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
How soon is the report ready?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bramdean
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. We survey lead flashings, natural slate and clay and concrete tiles, and people most often book us about valley linings that have cracked or split and leaning or weathered chimney stacks.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

What a roof survey looks like in Bramdean
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. About 1.3 miles west lies Hinton Ampner House, a reminder of how long the area around Bramdean has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church like Church of St Simon and St Jude are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Bramdean is about 8 miles east of Winchester, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Bramdean, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Our Hampshire coverage includes Bramdean. We also survey roofs in Southampton.

What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Bramdean, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
How to book

Advice
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
File the report with your other home documents. It gives you something to compare against later, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
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.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings close the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. We check for lead that has lifted, split or slipped.
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack. We note any lean or loose pots.
What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
Getting in touch
We will typically ask about:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- When you need the report by
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

For landlords and managing agents
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer.
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
