How a storm damage roof report works in Bartley
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you’ve noticed flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and slipped or missing slates or tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Roofs in small places like Bartley often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.

What else we do in Bartley
Bartley: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Bartley is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Bartley?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Bartley is within about 5 miles of the coast.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Is Bartley in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs in Bartley and the rest of Hampshire. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Older and listed buildings around Bartley may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Bartley can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Getting a price

Advice
Bartley roofs and the weather
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Bartley, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you look after a building like Bartley Church of England Junior School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Bartley is about 2 miles west of Totton, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Bartley is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Bartley is one of the places in Hampshire we cover for storm damage roof reports. For surveys nearby, see our Southampton page.
