Harbridge: your questions answered
Is Harbridge in the area you cover?
Yes, Harbridge is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Harbridge 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.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Harbridge?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.
Storm damage roof report in Harbridge: what you get
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’re worried about lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and damaged flat roof membrane, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks alike.
Somewhere as small as Harbridge, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Harbridge roofs and the weather
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of All Saints, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Harbridge?
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. People typically call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damaged ridges and hips
For any home in Harbridge, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- What experience they bring
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey typically takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Harbridge needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about parking near the property
Booking a survey
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.

Roof by roof
Lead flashings
Wind can peel back flashings at abutments and stacks. We record which are loose or damaged.
Chimney stacks
Wind can pull the flashings away from a chimney. We photograph any we find.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
