About our storm damage roof report in Bursledon
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a report with photos, sent by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. 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 are worried about water coming in after the storm and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Houses in smaller places like Bursledon can stand more in the open, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather frequently points to an exposed detail. Tell us when it happens when you get in touch. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Check your policy for how to report damage
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Parking around Bursledon is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
Leaks and storm damage in Bursledon
Bursledon lies within about 2 miles of the sea, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. The wider area around Bursledon has a long history of building, with Medieval Merchant's House about 4 miles west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as St Paul’s Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you own a rental within reach of Bursledon station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

What this survey can’t tell you

- A price for the repairs
- How your policy defines a storm
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.

How we price storm damage roof reports
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The size of the roof
- Height and safe access
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Anything about access we should know
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Other services in Bursledon
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Bursledon?
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Water coming in after the storm
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
Living close to Westwood Woodland Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Bursledon questions
Is my home in Bursledon listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Bursledon?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Bursledon is within about 2 miles of the coast.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it’s clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report is sent afterwards by email.
