Landlord Roof Survey in North Boarhunt
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in North Boarhunt. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.

- Leaking joints at party walls
- Standing water on a flat roof
Checking the roof from ground level
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.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
How a landlord roof survey works in North Boarhunt
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We check the roof from every safe viewpoint including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. We are often asked to look into damaged pots and flaunching and slipped or missing slates and tiles, across gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses.
Older buildings in small places like North Boarhunt may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

North Boarhunt questions
Do roofs near the sea, like those around North Boarhunt, take more of a battering?
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.
How do I find out if my home in North Boarhunt is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No. Who pays is normally set by the lease, and that is a legal question. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Do you work in North Boarhunt?
Yes, we do. We carry out landlord roof surveys in North Boarhunt.

What we are asked to look at in North Boarhunt
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Flashings that have come away
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If you let a flat or house near Portchester station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Useful tips for North Boarhunt property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem normally is.
What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:

- Height and safe access
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed

- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Anything about access we should know

What we do, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older rural homes like those around North Boarhunt can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

What else we do in North Boarhunt
What happens if roof problems are left?
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. A ceiling stain frequently means water has been coming in for some time. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. Around North Boarhunt, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in North Boarhunt
North Boarhunt is within about 4 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, while driving rain finds any gap. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
For businesses in and around places such as Fareham Shopping Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Anyone responsible for a site like Newtown Soberton Infant School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
