Older buildings in small places like Netley Marsh 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. 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.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Netley Marsh: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Netley Marsh?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Is my home in Netley Marsh listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How quickly will I get the report?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photos.
How long does the visit take?
Allow between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How do I book a survey in Netley Marsh?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers

What else we do in Netley Marsh
What we’re asked to look at in Netley Marsh
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while rain gets into every gap. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
Anyone responsible for a site like Netley Marsh Church of England Infant School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon the report will arrive
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Their insurance cover
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey typically takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Netley Marsh often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Roof surveys around Netley Marsh
Netley Marsh is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind off the sea can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Matthew, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Landlords with a home close to Ashurst New Forest station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
