Landlord roof survey in South Weirs: what you get
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. Common reasons to book are flashings that have come away and mortar falling from ridges and verges, on gutters and downpipes, converted houses and shared roofs.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

South Weirs: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in South Weirs is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in South Weirs?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows.
Do you cover South Weirs?
Yes. We survey roofs in South Weirs and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across London and South East England. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
Sometimes, yes. If the loft space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.

What else we do in South Weirs
How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like South Weirs, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
How to book
We confirm the price for your survey before booking, so you know where you stand. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us.

When to book a survey in South Weirs
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years particularly where the roof can’t be seen from the street.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Damaged pots and flaunching
For landlords with property near Brockenhurst station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Why get it checked now?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. For older village homes like those around South Weirs, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in South Weirs
South Weirs lies within about 5 miles of the sea, 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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Saviour, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you look after a building like Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
South Weirs is about 4 miles north-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Roofs in South Weirs get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Hampshire. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire. For surveys nearby, see our Southampton page.

What we look for on each type of roof

Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
