About our roof survey in Bramshill
Roofs vary a lot across London and the South East. 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. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. If you are worried about crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and valley linings that have cracked or split, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Common questions in Bramshill
Will you come out to Bramshill?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bramshill?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How do I book a survey in Bramshill?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when you book.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Bramshill can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Common roof problems in Bramshill
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Missing lead isn’t unusual either, as thieves target it.
Problems we come across often include:
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
Homes near green spaces such as Wellington Country Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.
What to check before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether the price includes VAT
How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but their surfaces weather over the years, and they can crack.
Lead flashings and valleys
Many older houses have lead in their valleys and hidden gutters. Cracks in a lead valley can send water into the roof, and lead is a target for theft.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer.
Useful tips for Bramshill property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Let us know about past leaks
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. They’ll see each defect and its location, which makes quotes easier to compare.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Compare each report with the last.

Roof surveys in Bramshill: local notes
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. About 2.8 miles west lies Stratfield Saye House, a reminder of how long the area around Bramshill has been built on. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Winchfield station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take an older house close to Mission Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
