Questions from East Boldre
Do you cover smaller places like East Boldre?
Yes, East Boldre is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in East Boldre 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.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How a storm damage roof report works in East Boldre
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We’re frequently asked to look into flat roof edges peeled back and loose or torn flashings, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flashings.
In a village or hamlet like East Boldre, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like East Boldre, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Find any records of previous roof work

The coast is about 3 miles or less from East Boldre. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, frequently gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. The wider area around East Boldre has a long history of building, with Beaulieu Palace House about 1.3 miles north-east. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
For landlords with property near Beaulieu Road station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Paul, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Checking the roof from the ground
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What affects the price in East Boldre
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- House, block, shop or office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The address and postcode of the property
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. We photograph any we find.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

When to book a survey in East Boldre
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Look out for signs like these:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Lead lifted at abutments
Take a building like Beaulieu Village Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
