About our storm damage roof report in Horseport
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Common reasons to book are damaged flat roof membrane and slipped or missing slates or tiles, across gutters and fascias, flashings and chimney stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Horseport, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. 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.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Horseport
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Roofs hit by falling trees
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Mary's Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like Horseport, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Questions from Horseport
Is Horseport in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Horseport is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Why get it checked now?
It’s useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Horseport, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.

Horseport roofs and the weather
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently 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. About 3 miles north lies Breamore House, a reminder of how long the area around Horseport has been built on. 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 any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Fordingbridge Infant School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
