Storm damage roof report in Gosport, Hampshire
Independent storm damage roof reports in Gosport. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
Storm damage roof report in Gosport
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It is yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you are worried about broken or displaced guttering and new damp or leaks inside, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Gosport, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Gosport: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Gosport is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Gosport in the area you cover?
Yes, Gosport is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
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, though we can’t predict the outcome.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as Gosport, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- 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.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Why it is worth a survey now in Gosport
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. Our report gives an honest view of both, so there are no surprises later. In a small place like Gosport, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Wind, rain and roofs in Gosport
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mark, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you let a flat or house near Chandlers Ford station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. Take a building like Ampfield Church of England Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Slate roofs
After strong winds, we frequently see cracked and slipped slates. Each area is photographed and described.
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
