Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Awbridge
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We survey flat roofs, gutters and fascias and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged flat roof membrane and gaps where slates or tiles have gone.
Somewhere as small as Awbridge, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
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, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as Awbridge, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Advice
Storm damage roof reports in Awbridge: local notes
The wider area around Awbridge has a long history of building, with Mottisfont Abbey about 2 miles north. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you own a rental within reach of Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

What affects the price in Awbridge
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Common questions in Awbridge
Will you come out to Awbridge?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Awbridge?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.

When to book a survey in Awbridge
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
People normally book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Loose or torn flashings
Anyone responsible for a site like Awbridge Primary School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What exactly goes into their report
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
