Storm damage roof report in Bashley
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: 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 lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and gutters pulled loose in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Bashley face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

Common questions in Bashley
Is my home in Bashley listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Bashley?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows, and Bashley is within about 3 miles of the coast.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you work in Bashley?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes Bashley.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That is not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from ground level if it’s safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. In a place like Bashley, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
All our prices include VAT. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before you book.

Leaks and storm damage in Bashley
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Bashley, 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. 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.
If you look after a building like Ballard School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. The streets around a church such as St John are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

What we do, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Bashley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
Arrange a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How big the roof is
- House, block, shop or office
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What we need to know
We’ll normally ask about:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.
When to book a survey in Bashley
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Roofs hit by falling trees
Historic houses like Highcliffe Castle, about 3.5 miles south-west, show how far back building around Bashley goes. On older roofs nearby, leaks frequently trace back to lead flashings, valleys and gutters.
