Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Broughton
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We’re often asked to look into slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and lifted, split or missing lead flashings, on the roof space, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks.
Older buildings in small places like Broughton may be 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.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How big the roof is
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What to tell us when you contact us
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It is useful to include:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The kind of building and roof involved
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we will recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Broughton
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Different roofs, different checks
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles, especially at the verges and ridge.
Flat roof coverings
Standing water, blisters and splits all point to wear. We also look at the edges, upstands and outlets.

Roof surveys around Broughton
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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Mottisfont Abbey, about 3.9 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Broughton. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Broughton Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Broughton is about 8 miles north-west of Romsey, in Hampshire. We visit Broughton as part of our work across Hampshire, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Our Hampshire coverage includes Broughton. You can also see our page for Southampton.

What’s near Broughton
We work in homes and buildings around The Tally Ho Public House, among other places. The nearest railway station is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 4.3 miles south of the centre.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Rural addresses near Broughton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

Questions from Broughton
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you cover smaller places like Broughton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from the ground. 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. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Broughton, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
