How a roof survey works in Furzey Lodge
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, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. Typical surveys look at crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, across ridges, hips and valleys, lead flashings and natural slate.
Older buildings in small places like Furzey Lodge may be 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

When to book a survey in Furzey Lodge
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack. Lead is also a target for theft.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Loose chimney pots
Take a building like Beaulieu Village Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How soon the report will arrive
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
FAQs for Furzey Lodge
Can a landlord with a rental near Beaulieu Road station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Furzey Lodge?
Yes, Furzey Lodge is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you go up on the roof?
Where it is safe, yes. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.

The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a small place like Furzey Lodge, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.

Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Useful tips for Furzey Lodge property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Mention any damp patches when booking
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
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.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
What a roof survey does not cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
