Funtley Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Funtley, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Loose or torn flashings
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Storm damage roof report in Funtley
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We’re often asked to look into water coming in after the storm and slates and tiles blown off the roof, on slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and gutters and fascias.
In a village or hamlet like Funtley, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Storm damage roof reports in Funtley: local notes
Funtley is within about 3 miles of the coast, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Fareham Shopping Centre, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. The streets around a church like Church of St Francis are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Funtley is about 1 mile north of Fareham, in Hampshire. If you’re in Funtley, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Our Hampshire coverage includes Funtley. We also survey roofs in Portsmouth.

Funtley: your questions answered
Will you come out to Funtley?
Yes, Funtley is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is the coastal weather around Funtley hard on roofs?
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.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
What if the roof was already worn?
Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photographs. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like Funtley, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- 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’s safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Advice
What we’re asked to look at in Funtley
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- New damp or leaks inside
Take a building like Orchard Lea Infant School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
What to check before booking
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What insurance they carry
Why it’s worth a survey now in Funtley
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. We record storm damage and older defects, so there are no surprises later. Older and listed buildings around Funtley may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
