When to book a survey in Boldre
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
The streets around a church like Saint Nicholas Chapel are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- When you’ll get the report
- What exactly goes into their report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Landlord roof survey in Boldre
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you are worried about cracked or lifting flashings and slipped or missing slates and tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Boldre 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Landlord roof surveys in Boldre: local notes
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Boldre, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For landlords with property near Lymington Town station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Boldre is about 2 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. In Boldre, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Boldre is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. There is also a page for Southampton.

What’s near Boldre
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Southlands School, The Red Lion Inn and Priestlands School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Lymington Town station, about 1.5 miles south-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (1.5 miles south) and Lymington New Forest Hospital (0.8 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Boldre Foreshore.
How it works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Boldre, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Book a survey
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Advice
Different roofs, different checks
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that is hard to see. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
Common questions in Boldre
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Boldre?
Frequently, yes. Boldre is within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Do you cover smaller places like Boldre?
Yes, Boldre is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Boldre?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What this survey can’t tell you

- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches

We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
