North Baddesley Roof Survey
Roof surveys in North Baddesley and the rest of Hampshire. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings and valleys
Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. That is why we check them closely.
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, yet the nails holding it often fail long before the slate. Slipped, cracked and missing slates are all noted.
Roof survey in North Baddesley: what you get
Roofs vary a lot across London and South East England. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Every part gets the attention it needs. If you’ve noticed leaning or weathered chimney stacks and worn lead at chimneys and abutments, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like North Baddesley, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. 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.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

Common roof problems in North Baddesley
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as North Baddesley Junior School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What the survey won’t cover
- Will the report include photos?
Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Keep the report with your property records
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year.
Look at your roof from the ground after strong winds. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. A visit to a smaller place like North Baddesley is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Check pets are kept safely away
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

Local roofs in North Baddesley
The coast is about 5 miles or less from North Baddesley, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further 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. South Stoneham House, about 4.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around North Baddesley. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near All Saints, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you let a flat or house near Romsey station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Questions from North Baddesley
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Romsey station?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is North Baddesley within the area you cover?
Yes, North Baddesley is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Do you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
