There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors

- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Your timetable, like an exchange date

About our storm damage roof report in Hill Head
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you are worried about loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and lead lifted at abutments, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Many homes in small places like Hill Head face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

FAQs for Hill Head
Is the coastal weather around Hill Head hard on roofs?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows.
Is Hill Head within the area you cover?
Yes, Hill Head is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when you book.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Why act early in Hill Head
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Acting quickly usually means less damage overall. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

Hill Head roofs and the weather
Hill Head lies within about 1 mile of the sea, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, often gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
Landlords with a home close to Fareham station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take an older house close to Holy Rood Church: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Fareham Shopping Centre, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.
Hill Head is about 3 miles south-west of Fareham, in Hampshire. Hill Head is one of many places we visit across Hampshire, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Portsmouth is in our area too.
Storm damage roof reports in PO14 are booked the same way as anywhere else. Whether your property is on Elsfred Road, Osborne View Road and Cottes Way or anywhere close by, we can help. We also cover Stubbington (1 mile north-east), Little Posbrook (1 mile north-west), Titchfield (2 miles north), Catisfield (2 miles north) and Heathfield (2 miles north). Further out, we also cover Gosport (4 miles east), Havant (11 miles east), Eastleigh (11 miles north-west), Fareham (3 miles north-east), Horndean (11 miles north-east) and Totton (14 miles north-west).
Around Hill Head
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Crofton School, Stubbington House School and The Osborne View pub, among other places. The nearest railway station is Fareham station, roughly 2.9 miles north-east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Carron Row Farm Museum (2.8 miles north) and Fareham Shopping Centre (3.3 miles north-east). Not far away are West of the River Alver.
How it works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Hill Head, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Advice
Surveys for landlords and agents in Hill Head
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Hill Head. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Photograph the damage safely from below
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
