Common questions in Chartwell Green
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Chartwell Green, take more of a battering?
It can do. Chartwell Green is within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Do you cover smaller places like Chartwell Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
How a storm damage roof report works in Chartwell Green
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’ve noticed damaged flat roof membrane and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and hips, flat roofs and gutters and fascias alike.
Around Chartwell Green, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. 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 Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. We photograph and describe each one.
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
Leaks and storm damage in Chartwell Green
Chartwell Green is within about 4 miles of the coast, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings. South Stoneham House, about 1.3 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Chartwell Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like Townhill Infant School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Homes near green spaces like Itchen Valley Country Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Chartwell Green?
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People usually call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Damaged gutters and fascias
If you run a business near Marlands Shopping Centre, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.

What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. For a survey in Chartwell Green, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- 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.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
