What we look for on each type of roof

Flat roof coverings
Branches and debris can damage flat roofs or block outlets. We record what we find.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Havant
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you’re worried about roofs hit by falling trees and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a town like Havant, older houses and newer estates leak in different ways. Older roofs suffer slipped slates, worn mortar and tired lead, while later houses can leak at valleys, verges and flat-roofed additions. The cause decides what happens next, so it’s worth finding it properly. It also tells you whether the problem is old wear or something more recent.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Havant
Is my home in Havant listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Havant, take more of a battering?
Frequently, yes. Havant is within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Why it is worth a survey now in Havant
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. Those photos show the damage as it was. A defect spotted early can be planned and budgeted for, whereas a leak tends to force the timing on you, in Havant as anywhere.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Havant?
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Broken or displaced guttering
For an older house near a landmark such as St Francis, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof

Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
How the survey works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a visit in Havant, we need access to the loft, any rooms with leaks or stains, and the outside of the building. Mention gates, side passages and anything at the back. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Havant roofs and the weather
Havant is within about 2 miles of the coast, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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.
