We survey roofs in Luccombe Village and across London and South East England. Visits run on any day of the week. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We survey flat roofs, lead flashings and natural slate, and people most frequently book us about slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists.
Some older homes in villages like Luccombe Village 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Signs you need a roof survey in Luccombe Village
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that isn’t firmly fixed, while rain gets into every gap. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
If you look after a building like St Blasius Shanklin CofE Primary Academy, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, while Premium includes a consultation in person. You can ask us about anything that isn’t clear.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Luccombe Village
Luccombe Village lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain. About 0.7 miles north lies Rylstone Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Luccombe Village has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Blasius Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Shanklin station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Luccombe Village
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
What happens if roof problems are left?
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 Luccombe Village are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Common questions in Luccombe Village
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Luccombe Village?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can a landlord with a rental near Shanklin station book a roof survey?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as an exact number, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
Honest limits
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
