Storm damage roof report in Hartfordbridge: what you get
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. Typical surveys look at damaged gutters and fascias and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, on gutters and fascias, flat roofs and flashings.
In a village or hamlet like Hartfordbridge, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Honest limits
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- The outcome of a claim
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Areas we can’t see safely

Hartfordbridge questions
Do you cover Hartfordbridge?
Yes, Hartfordbridge is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Hartfordbridge as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Hartfordbridge?
Yes, Hartfordbridge is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Is this a RICS 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.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from ground level or from windows. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.

How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as Hartfordbridge, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Hartfordbridge
Landlords, agents and building managers in Hartfordbridge and across Hampshire can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Storm damage roof reports around Hartfordbridge
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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.
Shop and office owners around Hart Shopping Centre may find that water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. Take a building like Oakwood Infant School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

What affects the price in Hartfordbridge
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the roof is
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The shape of the roof and its details
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where water is showing inside, if it is

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Hartfordbridge?
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- New damp or leaks inside
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near All Souls Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
