Roof survey in Bramshaw
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, others want a check before selling or after years without one. The approach is the same in each case: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run seven days a week, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. If you’re worried about flashings that have come away from the wall and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on lead flashings, ridges, hips and valleys and flat roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Bramshaw, older cottages and farmhouses often 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. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What a survey costs
We confirm the price for your survey before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- House, block, shop or office
- Which survey package you book
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The address and postcode of the property
When you are ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Why get it checked now?
Before you put a home on the market, it helps to know the roof’s condition. You can deal with defects before a buyer’s surveyor finds them, or at least know what to expect. In a small place like Bramshaw, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.
Why us?
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- An independent view of the roof
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Bramshaw
Historic houses such as Landford Manor, about 2.3 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Bramshaw goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Landlords, agents and building managers in Bramshaw and across Hampshire can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Bramshaw can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You tell us about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point, inside and out.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Related advice
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.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. The photos show what we found and where, which makes quotes easier to compare.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
