Questions from Hundred Acres
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Hundred Acres, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Do you cover smaller places like Hundred Acres?
Yes, Hundred Acres is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Hundred Acres
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you’re worried about loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Hundred Acres, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. We look at what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What we can’t see
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- The outcome of a claim
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- A price for the repairs
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Ridges and hips
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Gutters and fascias
- Slate and tile slopes
Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Do not go up a ladder to look.
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Hundred Acres can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Hundred Acres
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Lead lifted at abutments
For businesses in and around places such as Fareham Shopping Centre, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- Their report turnaround times
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Hundred Acres roofs and the weather
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Hundred Acres, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, often gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For landlords with property near Fareham station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, especially where the nails have corroded. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
