How we price storm damage roof reports

A few things affect what a survey costs:

  • Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
  • Which survey package you book
  • Commercial roofs and larger buildings
  • If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone

Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Getting in touch

The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it is useful to mention:

  • Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
  • How the loft is reached, if there is one
  • When you need the report by
  • The style of property, from a terrace to a block

You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

About our storm damage roof report in Baybridge

Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We’re frequently asked to look into slates and tiles blown off the roof and damaged ridges and hips, on slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and chimney stacks.

Being in a small place like Baybridge makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: 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, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.

Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Roof by roof

Chimney stacks

Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.

Ridge and hip tiles

Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the wind. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.

How it works

Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Baybridge, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.

  1. First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
  2. We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
  3. We record and photograph the damage.
  4. We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
  5. You get a written report to pass to your insurer.

Before we arrive

  • Note where any stains or damp appear
  • Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
  • Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Advice

Landlord and commercial surveys in Baybridge

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.

For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.

Can I check my roof myself?

If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

What happens if roof problems are left?

Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. Our report gives an honest view of both, so there are no surprises later. In a place like Baybridge, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

Every price we give includes VAT. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

Wind, rain and roofs in Baybridge

A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.

If you let a flat or house near Shawford station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you look after a building such as Owslebury Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Baybridge questions

Is Baybridge within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.

Is Baybridge in the area you cover?

We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.

Will my insurer pay for an old roof?

Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.

How long does the survey take?

It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report follows by email.

Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?

The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.

Are you loss adjusters?

No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.

Does this replace a RICS home survey?

No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
