Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Boorley Green
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photographs to give to your insurer. Typical surveys look at torn or lifted flat roof coverings and damage from fallen branches or debris, across flat roofs, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
Houses in smaller places like Boorley Green can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that’s a useful clue. Let us know when it happens when you contact us. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Boorley Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Boorley Green?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Boorley Green?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Only from ground level or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Why act early in Boorley Green
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly usually means less damage overall. Around Boorley Green, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, especially where trees overhang. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Roof area
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Boorley Green
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damaged ridges and hips
Anyone responsible for a site like Berrywood Primary School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see

What else we do in Boorley Green
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
How the survey works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Boorley Green is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Leave side gates unlocked
Arrange a survey

Wind, rain and roofs in Boorley Green
Boorley Green is within about 5 miles of the coast. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, often gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. With South Stoneham House about 4.3 miles west, Boorley Green sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark like St Luke's Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Landlords with a home close to Hedge End station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Photograph damage inside the house too
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It’s your record to use.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
