About our roof survey in Bull Hill
We survey roofs in Bull Hill and across London and the South East. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us. We are often asked to look into worn or blocked valleys and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles, across lead flashings, natural slate and flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Bull Hill 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Around Bull Hill, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Let us know about past leaks
- Keep the report with your property records
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
When you need someone else
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Bull Hill
Bull Hill is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind off the sea can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Landlords with a home close to Lymington Town station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you look after a building such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Beaulieu Palace House, about 3.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bull Hill. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.

Common questions in Bull Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Bull Hill?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Lymington Town station?
Yes, that’s 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.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from the ground, windows and the loft space.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos testing isn’t part of our service. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We don’t give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it’s agreed before booking.
