Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Kimbridge
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are slates and tiles blown off the roof and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
Roofs in small places like Kimbridge frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. We record what looks recent and what looks older.

Common questions in Kimbridge
How do I find out if my home in Kimbridge is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Kimbridge?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we can’t predict the outcome.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Kimbridge, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Leaks and storm damage in Kimbridge
The wider area around Kimbridge has a long history of building, with Mottisfont Abbey about 0.9 miles north. 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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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.
If you look after a building such as Awbridge Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you let a flat or house near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Andrew, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Kimbridge is about 3 miles north-west of Romsey, in Hampshire.
