Bedhampton Storm Damage Roof Report
Storm damage roof reports in Bedhampton from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us across London and South East England.

- Damaged flat roof membrane
How the survey works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes an hour or two for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. A visit to a smaller place like Bedhampton is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
How to book
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Storm damage roof report in Bedhampton
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It is not a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. Common reasons to book are new damp or leaks inside and damage from fallen branches or debris, on ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs.
Older cottages and houses around Bedhampton may have roofs with little or no underlay. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there is little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Finding where it gets in, and whether it’s old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are frequently the first clue.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, especially where the nails have corroded. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Bedhampton: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bedhampton?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Bedhampton, take more of a battering?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Storm damage roof reports around Bedhampton
Bedhampton is within about 1 mile of the coast, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Driving rain off the sea can be pushed into gaps that stay dry in calmer weather, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
Take a building like Bidbury Junior School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you let a flat or house near Bedhampton station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Take an older house close to St Nicholas Church: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Bedhampton is about 1 mile south-west of Havant, in Hampshire. Bedhampton gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
All of PO9 is within our area for storm damage roof reports, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If you need a storm damage roof report at a property on Palk Road, Knox Road and Mill Lane or a nearby road, we can help. Close by, we survey roofs in Farlington (1 mile south-west), Purbrook (2 miles north-west), Drayton (2 miles west), Widley (2 miles west) and Waterlooville (2 miles north-west).

A little further out are Warblington Castle (1.7 miles south-east) and Havant Museum (1.1 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Portsdown Hill and Southmoor Nature Reserve.
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
What affects the price in Bedhampton
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How big the roof is
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
Booking your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- What made you get in touch
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Areas we can’t see safely
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.
