About our roof survey in Boorley Green
There’s no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We survey chimney stacks, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are standing water on a flat roof and leaking gutter joints and downpipes.
Around Boorley Green, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Local roofs in Boorley Green
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Boorley Green, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take a building like Berrywood Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For an older house near a landmark such as St Luke's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Historic houses such as South Stoneham House, about 4.3 miles west, show how far back building around Boorley Green goes. Older roofs nearby frequently mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.

The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a smaller place like Boorley Green, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Leave side gates unlocked

Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Repeated coatings can hide what’s underneath. If the covering would need opening up to know more, we say so.
Chimney stacks
We look at the stack itself, and it isn’t a flue or gas safety check. If a specialist is needed, we’ll say so.
Why get it checked now?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. A survey sets a baseline, which makes later changes easy to spot. On a bungalow or cottage around Boorley Green, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Questions from Boorley Green
Are there drone restrictions around Boorley Green?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. The flight restriction zone around Southampton Airport comes within about 1 mile of Boorley Green. We check the exact boundary for the address before flying, and if the roof falls inside it, we ask for permission first. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying, and the rest of the survey doesn’t depend on the drone.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Boorley Green, take more of a battering?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows, and Boorley Green is within about 5 miles of the coast.
When will the report arrive?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photographs.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos testing is not part of our service. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Do you cover Boorley Green for roof surveys?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Boorley Green included.
How long does the visit take?
It typically takes an hour or two at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Report times depend on the package.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
