Bournemouth roofs
Much of Bournemouth was built between the 1880s and the 1930s, and you can see it in the rooflines. Boscombe, Westbourne and Southbourne are full of tall Victorian and Edwardian houses with steep slate roofs, several chimneys, and plenty of valleys and flashing to go wrong. Most of it can't be seen from the pavement.
On the East and West Cliff, the blocks of flats tend to have flat roofs, where water sits and outlets block. Around Talbot Woods and Queen's Park, pine needles fill gutters faster than most people expect. And the wind off the bay is hard on ridge tiles and flashing, especially after a stormy winter.
On the seafront
The beaches and pier are busy for much of the year, so seafront jobs are planned for early mornings or quieter days. Clifftop flats and houses also catch the most wind, so it's worth being a little flexible on the date.
Services in Bournemouth
Roof surveys are the usual call after a leak or a storm. Construction progress visits suit the flat and housing developments going up across the town. Aerial property photos work well for clifftop flats and anything within walking distance of the beach, where the location is the selling point.
