Curbridge questions
Do you cover smaller places like Curbridge?
Yes. Curbridge is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you cover Curbridge?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. The written report follows by email.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Storm damage roof report in Curbridge: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey ridges and hips, flat roofs and gutters and fascias, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged gutters and fascias and new damp or leaks inside.
Around Curbridge, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

When to book a survey in Curbridge
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Roofs hit by falling trees
Whatever the street in Curbridge, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.
What to check before booking
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Storm damage roof reports around Curbridge
Curbridge is within about 5 miles of the coast, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, often gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.

What happens on the day

The visit normally takes about one to two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof.

Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Related advice
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
What happens if roof problems are left?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Curbridge, so it is useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
