Brighton Hill Roof Survey

About our roof survey in Brighton Hill
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where conditions allow. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where applicable, which helps with tall or steep roofs. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. Typical surveys look at valley linings that have cracked or split and leaning or weathered chimney stacks, across clay and concrete tiles, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings.
In a smaller place like Brighton Hill, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Local roofs in Brighton Hill
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. About 4 miles north lies The Vyne, a reminder of how long the area around Brighton Hill has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to The Church Of Christ The King: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Brighton Hill
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from ground level. You might pay for work that doesn’t fix the real problem, or to a real problem being missed. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. On a bungalow or cottage around Brighton Hill, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking.

What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Common roof problems in Brighton Hill
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.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brighton Hill Community School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Questions from Brighton Hill
I let a flat near Basingstoke station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is Brighton Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. We flag materials that could contain it, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when booking.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Brighton Hill?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run seven days a week.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.

What affects the price in Brighton Hill
We confirm the exact price before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Roof area
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
We confirm the price for your roof before booking, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Brighton Hill, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Booking a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.

Tips that help
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- File the report with your home documents
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. They’ll see each defect and its location, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Every so often, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.
