Brighton Roof Surveys covers the whole of Hove (BN3) with high-resolution drone roof surveys and follow-up roof repairs. Most Hove inspections are flown, reported and quoted without a single ladder going up, which means no scaffold hire just to find out what is wrong.
Hove roofs take a particular beating. Salt-laden south-westerlies come straight off the Channel onto the seafront frontages, while the long Victorian and Edwardian terraces inland share valleys, parapets and party walls with neighbours — so one failing detail often causes damp in two houses at once.
Properties we survey in Hove
Seafront mansion blocks (Kingsway, Brunswick, Adelaide Crescent)
Large communal flat roofs, parapet gutters and lead flashings that corrode fast in salt air. Drone surveys are ideal here because access via a single flat's window or a cherry picker on the Kingsway is rarely practical.
Poets' Corner and Aldrington terraces
Bay-fronted Victorian terraces with slate main roofs and small lead-lined bay tops. The bay roofs and valley gutters between houses are the most common leak source we photograph.
Hove Park and Goldstone Valley semis
1930s clay-tiled semis with hipped roofs, cement verges and original underfelt. Cracked mortar bedding on hips and ridges is the classic BN3 repair we quote for.
Drone roof surveys in Hove
A survey takes around 45 minutes on site. We fly the full roof plane, ridges, chimneys, valleys, parapets and gutters, then send you a written report with annotated stills the same week, so you can see exactly what we saw.
For flat and communal roofs on Hove's mansion blocks we fly a nadir (straight down) pass as well, which makes ponding water, blistered felt and blocked outlets obvious to leaseholders and freeholders alike.
Roof repairs in Hove
Once you know what is wrong, we fix it: slipped and broken slates, re-bedded ridges and hips, lead flashing and soakers, valley and parapet gutter renewal, and torch-on felt or EPDM on flat roofs and dormers.
Because we survey before we quote, Hove quotes are based on photographs rather than guesswork — useful if you are a leaseholder needing to justify the spend to a managing agent.
