Highbridge Storm Damage Roof Report
Storm damage roof reports in Highbridge, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
When to book a survey in Highbridge
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
For landlords with property near Eastleigh station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
What to check before booking
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
About our storm damage roof report in Highbridge
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We’re not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We survey slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are water coming in after the storm and broken or displaced guttering.
In a village or hamlet like Highbridge, 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. We look at everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, like when you want to compare after future work.

- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight

- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Highbridge frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Leave it or get it looked at?
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. For an older or listed building in a place like Highbridge, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.

Highbridge: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Highbridge?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Highbridge is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it is clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Highbridge?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Leaks and storm damage in Highbridge
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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. The wider area around Highbridge has a long history of building, with South Stoneham House about 4.2 miles south-west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Colden Common Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
