Why act early in Belbins
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you are not relying only on your own photos. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Belbins
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a written report with photographs, sent by email. It does not price the repairs, 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. If you’ve noticed torn or lifted flat roof coverings and roofs hit by falling trees, we can find out what’s behind it, on slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and flat roofs alike.
Many homes in small places like Belbins 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Belbins, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. We photograph and describe the damage.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Belbins
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
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 when budgeting.
Storm damage roof reports around Belbins
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The wider area around Belbins has a long history of building, with Mottisfont Abbey about 2.7 miles north-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Romsey station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Andrew, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Take a building like Cupernham Junior School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Useful tips for Belbins property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Do not go up a ladder to look.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Belbins
Do you cover Belbins?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Belbins is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Belbins is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
