What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere like Ashurst Bridge needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Storm damage roof report in Ashurst Bridge
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. If you’ve noticed damaged pots on the stack and slipped or missing slates or tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
For a small place like Ashurst Bridge, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Wind, rain and roofs in Ashurst Bridge
Ashurst Bridge lies within about 3 miles of the sea, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. The wider area around Ashurst Bridge has a long history of building, with Southampton Tudor House and Garden about 4.8 miles east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a building such as Hazel Wood Infant School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Matthew, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Ashurst Bridge: your questions answered
Is Ashurst Bridge within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is the coastal weather around Ashurst Bridge hard on roofs?
It can do. Ashurst Bridge is within about 3 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report follows by email.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. In a small place like Ashurst Bridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- An independent look at the roof
- Every finding written up with photos
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Package prices that include VAT

How we price storm damage roof reports
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How big the roof is
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Common roof problems in Ashurst Bridge
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
If you own a rental within reach of Totton station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
What to check before booking
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Is VAT included in the price?
Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. We record any damage and where it is.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails often fail first. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
