Storm damage roof report in Bridgemary: what you get
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so you’ll 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 loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and broken or displaced guttering, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes alike.
Older cottages and houses around Bridgemary may have roofs with little or no underlay. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. 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.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Common roof problems in Bridgemary
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Matthew's, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- How soon the report will arrive
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
Useful tips for Bridgemary property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It’s your record to use.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
Why act early in Bridgemary
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. Those photos show the damage as it was. Around Bridgemary, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Wind, rain and roofs in Bridgemary
Bridgemary lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain finds any gap they leave. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you run a business near Fareham Shopping Centre, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. Anyone responsible for a site like Rowner Junior will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Bridgemary questions
Is my home in Bridgemary listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Bridgemary?
Yes, Bridgemary is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we can’t say how it will turn out.

Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles

Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Letting agents and landlords in Bridgemary book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos.
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a smaller place like Bridgemary, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
