About our roof survey in Little Holbury
We survey roofs in Little Holbury and across London and the South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you’re ready to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. If you’ve noticed cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and loose ridge or hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a small place like Little Holbury, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Little Holbury homes and their roofs
Little Holbury is within about 2 miles of the coast, and wind near the sea can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. Historic houses like Beaulieu Palace House, about 2.8 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Little Holbury goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Manor Church of England Infant School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Netley station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Little Holbury is about 2 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Little Holbury can all book roof surveys, with a written report and photographs every time.

Why act early in Little Holbury
It is 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 Little Holbury are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Prices for roof surveys in Little Holbury
We confirm the price for the job before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. They’ll see each defect and its location, which makes quotes easier to compare.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. For a village or hamlet like Little Holbury, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.
Advice
Little Holbury questions
Is the coastal weather around Little Holbury hard on roofs?
Often, yes. Within about 2 miles of the sea, as Little Holbury is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Can a landlord with a rental near Netley station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos testing isn’t part of our service. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
