Useful tips for Broomhill property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Let us know about past leaks
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
Keep the report with your property records. It’s a useful baseline for future surveys, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
Roof survey in Broomhill
There are three levels of survey: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, like moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Every package includes a written report. If you’ve noticed leaning or weathered chimney stacks and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Broomhill are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common roof problems in Broomhill
The underlay under the coverings matters too. Breathable roofing membranes came into use in the UK in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt, and very old ones may have none. Torn or sagging felt lets water through.
Common reasons to book include:
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Mary's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Before you book anyone
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What happens after the report arrives

Roof by roof

Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. They get particular attention in every survey.
FAQs for Broomhill
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Adisham station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Is Broomhill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We do not put a figure on it, 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.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t normally stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes an hour or two for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere like Broomhill needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
