Questions from Chandler's Ford
Do you cover Chandler's Ford?
Yes, Chandler's Ford is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How should I get ready for a visit in Chandler's Ford?
Mostly, it is about access: the loft hatch, any locked gates and where to park in Chandler's Ford. It also helps to know about any leaks or earlier repairs.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we will record the rest.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Will you check the loft?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Storm damage roof report in Chandler's Ford: what you get
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a report with photographs, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, 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. We are frequently asked to look into cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and damaged ridges and hips, on chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs.
Extensions, dormers and conservatories are common on houses in towns like Chandler's Ford, and where an extension meets the house is a common leak point. The flashings and upstands at those joints get a careful look. The stain inside is often some way from where water gets in, particularly around extensions.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Chandler's Ford
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Once water reaches the loft insulation in a home in Chandler's Ford, it loses much of its value and is slow to dry. That adds to the bill long before the leak is obvious.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Estimates of repair costs
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording

Wind, rain and roofs in Chandler's Ford
South Stoneham House, about 3.4 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Chandler's Ford. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Landlords with a home close to Chandlers Ford station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For an older house near a landmark such as St Boniface, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Anyone responsible for a site like Chandler's Ford Infant School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
