Honest limits
A survey is a proper look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)

How a roof survey works in Brockbridge
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. We check the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the loft space where there’s safe access. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. Common reasons to book are worn or blocked valleys and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles, on natural slate, clay and concrete tiles and flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Brockbridge 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. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Questions from Brockbridge
Is Brockbridge in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Brockbridge is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Brockbridge?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
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’s safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Where it is safe, yes. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the roof space. On Premium, a drone is used where it applies.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as an exact number, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older roofs in small places like Brockbridge can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.

Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Tile-hanging on walls and dormer cheeks is checked as part of the roof where it’s relevant. Gaps in tile-hanging let water reach the wall behind.
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack, as far as we can safely see them. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.
Roof surveys around Brockbridge
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take a building like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary and All Saints: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
File the report with your other home documents. It gives you something to compare against later, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Keep the roof space ventilated. A stuffy loft collects condensation, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. When they do, water comes straight into the house. We check them before they cause trouble. In a small place like Brockbridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
