Storm damage roof report in Binsted: what you get
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey gutters and fascias, flashings and ridges and hips, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and roofs hit by falling trees.
For a small place like Binsted, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Leaks and storm damage in Binsted
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
Landlords with a home close to Bentley (Hampshire) station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Take a building like Binsted Church of England Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of the Holy Cross, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Binsted: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Binsted?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Binsted?
Yes, Binsted is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Binsted as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about one to two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
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.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Around Binsted, 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.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Leave side gates unlocked
Booking a survey
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
