What we do, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. For a village or hamlet like Bramley Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Roof survey in Bramley Green: what you get
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are common. They’re included alongside the main roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. A flat roof typically wears out sooner than a pitched one. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. We survey flat roofs, lead flashings and ridges, hips and valleys, and people most frequently book us about torn or sagging underlay and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching.
Some older homes in villages like Bramley Green are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Roof area
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
When you need someone else

- A full building survey of the property
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

What else we do in Bramley Green
Checking the roof from the ground
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
When to book a survey in Bramley Green
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts at the top of the stack.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
Landlords with a home close to Bramley (Hants) station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Questions to ask before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Bramley Green
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Historic houses like The Vyne, about 2.1 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Bramley Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like Sherfield School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
