About our storm damage roof report in Bishopstoke
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you are worried about stains appearing after strong winds and flat roof edges peeled back, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Bishopstoke can let water in, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. It’s worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Bishopstoke questions
Is Bishopstoke in the area you cover?
Yes, Bishopstoke is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Bishopstoke?
Yes, Bishopstoke is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
What if the roof was already worn?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from the ground first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey typically takes about one to two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Homes around Bishopstoke often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Book a survey
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.
Related advice
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Bishopstoke?
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Broken or displaced guttering
Trees in and around Lakeside Country Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Why it is worth a survey now in Bishopstoke
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. With lower homes, common in places like Bishopstoke, there’s little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Wind, rain and roofs in Bishopstoke
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. With South Stoneham House about 3 miles south-west, Bishopstoke sits in an area with a long building history. 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 own a rental within reach of Eastleigh station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Stoke Park Junior School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
