Netley Roof Survey
Get a clear view of the roof at a property in Netley. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Loose chimney pots
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
Different roofs, different checks
Concrete interlocking tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but their surfaces weather over the years, and they can crack.
Chimney stacks
We look at the stack itself, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. If a specialist is needed, we will say so.
Roof survey in Netley: what you get
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the roof space where there’s safe access. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. If you’re worried about debris building up in roof valleys and loose chimney pots, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Netley, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are usually where the work is, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Prices for roof surveys in Netley
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is
- When you need the report by
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Netley
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than waiting for something to fail. With lower homes, common in places like Netley, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Signs you need a roof survey in Netley
Some damage starts inside the roof space. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, wetting timbers and insulation. It’s often mistaken for a leak.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
Medieval Merchant's House, about 3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Netley. If your home is one of the older ones, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.
Before you book anyone
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Local roofs in Netley
Netley lies within about 1 mile of the sea, where wind off 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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For landlords with property near Netley station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you live near a park such as Westwood Woodland Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Netley is about 3 miles north-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Anywhere in Netley, we can come and survey your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, large and small.

Your questions about roof surveys in Netley
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Netley, take more of a battering?
It can do. Within about 1 mile of the sea, as Netley is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
How do I find out if my home in Netley is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
How soon is the report ready?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you work in Netley?
Yes. Netley is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
What does a roof survey include?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe. You get a written report with photographs and recommendations.

Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
Keep the report with your property records. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.
Keep the loft space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. On timing, it usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a smaller place like Netley, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
