Storm damage roof report in Haslar
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you’ve noticed damaged pots on the stack and damaged gutters and fascias, we can find out what’s behind it, on slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and flat roofs alike.
Being in a small place like Haslar makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Keep receipts for any emergency work

Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
FAQs for Haslar
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Haslar?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details like ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
Will you come out to Haslar?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when booking.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
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’ll record the rest.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Haslar
Haslar is within about 1 mile of the coast. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies, and the insurer decides the claim. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Anyone responsible for a site like Haselworth Primary School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Take an older house close to St Francis: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Haslar is about 2 miles south-east of Gosport, in Hampshire. Surveys in Haslar work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Haslar is one of the places in Hampshire where we work.

What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The roof’s overall size
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we’ll tell you which fits.
Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. In a small place like Haslar, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Haslar, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice

- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Haslar means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it pays to find faults before guests do.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
