About our roof survey in Butlocks Heath
We survey roofs in Butlocks Heath and across London and South East England. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. If you’ve noticed loose chimney pots and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Butlocks Heath, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

What we’re asked to look at in Butlocks Heath
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Mortar crumbles, the flaunching around the pots cracks and stacks can lean. Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts at the top of the stack.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
What to check before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, it typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a hamlet or village like Butlocks Heath, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.

What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details

- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking.
Booking your survey

- What’s prompted the survey
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Roof surveys around Butlocks Heath
Butlocks Heath lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you own a rental within reach of Netley station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Netley Abbey Infant School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Common questions in Butlocks Heath
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Netley station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
How do I find out if my home in Butlocks Heath is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Are you insured?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Is Butlocks Heath in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs in Butlocks Heath and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across London and South East England. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We do not give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
What you can safely check yourself
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Why get it checked now?
It’s easier to plan roof work than to react to it. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than calling someone out after a storm. Outbuildings and barns around Butlocks Heath are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
