Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Furzeley Corner
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 aren’t loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’re worried about ridge tiles that have come loose and slates and tiles blown off the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Furzeley Corner, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. We check what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

When to book a survey in Furzeley Corner
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- New damp or leaks inside
- Roofs hit by falling trees
For landlords with property near Cosham station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What happens after the report arrives
- How long the report takes to arrive

Common questions in Furzeley Corner
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Furzeley Corner?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Furzeley Corner?
Yes, Furzeley Corner is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
What we cannot see
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- The outcome of a claim
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Furzeley Corner
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Furzeley Corner, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain finds any gap they leave, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Take a building like Denmead Junior School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Photograph damage inside the house too
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.

How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like Furzeley Corner, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets in another room
