New Milton questions
Do roofs near the sea, like those around New Milton, take more of a battering?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and New Milton is within about 2 miles of the coast.
Can a landlord with a rental near New Milton station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you cover New Milton for landlord roof surveys?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes New Milton.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
About our landlord roof survey in New Milton
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We are frequently asked to look into leaks into upper flats and parapets and upstands in poor repair, on rented houses, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes.
Houses in smaller places like New Milton can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why get it checked now?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. Blocked gutters on homes around New Milton overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.

Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. Any problems are photographed.
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
What affects the price in New Milton
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: 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.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What made you get in touch
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in New Milton
New Milton is within about 2 miles of the coast, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take an older house close to Parish Church of St Magdalene: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like The Arnewood School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For landlords with property near New Milton station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

A little further out are Highcliffe Castle (2.7 miles south-west) and Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (1 mile north-west). Not far away are Milford on Sea LNR.
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around New Milton, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
