How a storm damage roof report works in Bagmore
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We’re not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you are worried about lead lifted at abutments and new damp or leaks inside, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Bagmore makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Bagmore questions
Is Bagmore in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Bagmore as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bagmore?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Leaks and storm damage in Bagmore
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The wider area around Bagmore has a long history of building, with Hall Place about 3 miles south. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church such as Church of St. Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Landlords with a home close to Alton station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Anything about access we should know
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. For a village or hamlet like Bagmore, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Practical tips
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
