What we do, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. A survey in Eastleigh needs access inside and out, including the loft hatch and any rooms with damp. Mention gates, side passages and anything at the back. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Advice
Storm damage roof report in Eastleigh: what you get
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you’re worried about lead lifted at abutments and damaged pots on the stack, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a town like Eastleigh, older houses and newer estates leak in different ways. Older roofs suffer slipped slates, worn mortar and tired lead, while later houses can leak at valleys, verges and flat-roofed additions. Knowing the cause tells you what to do next. It also helps show whether the problem is long-standing wear or recent damage.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

FAQs for Eastleigh
Is my home in Eastleigh 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, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Eastleigh?
Yes, Eastleigh is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Eastleigh as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
How do I book a survey in Eastleigh?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Eastleigh
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How big the roof is
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Booking your survey
A few details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:

- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them

Common roof problems in Eastleigh
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.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged gutters and fascias
If you let a flat or house near Eastleigh station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
What to check before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Are they insured for the work?
Honest limits
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers

Storm damage roof reports in Eastleigh: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. About 2.5 miles south-west lies South Stoneham House, a reminder of how long the area around Eastleigh has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you live in an older home near Church of the Resurrection, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Norwood Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Why act early in Eastleigh
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. Once water reaches the loft insulation in a home in Eastleigh, it loses much of its value and is slow to dry. That’s an extra cost on top of the roof work itself.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
