About our roof survey in Bramshott Chase
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We check the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, along with the loft where it’s safe to get in. You get a report with photographs and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. If you’ve noticed water stains on rafters and ceiling joists and valley linings that have cracked or split, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Bramshott Chase are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Local roofs in Bramshott Chase
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For landlords with property near Haslemere station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take a building like Woolmer Hill School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. The streets around a church such as Church of St Luke are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Roof by roof
Natural slate
Inside the roof space, we check what’s under the slates. There may be old felt underlay, or none at all on very old roofs.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles.

FAQs for Bramshott Chase
Can a landlord with a rental near Haslemere station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Is Bramshott Chase within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
What does a roof survey include?
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.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It isn’t a structural engineer’s report and does not include calculations.
Useful tips for Bramshott Chase property owners
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. The photos show what we found and where, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Keep the roof space ventilated. A stuffy loft collects condensation, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Make sure insulation does not block the airflow at the eaves.
What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Rural addresses near Bramshott Chase can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
