Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Landport
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and flashings, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are stains appearing after strong winds and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
Older cottages and houses around Landport may have roofs with little or no underlay. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there’s little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Whether it’s long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are frequently the first clue.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Storm damage roof reports around Landport
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Landport, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Driving rain off the sea can be pushed into gaps that stay dry in calmer weather, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so check with the council.
If you live near a park such as Alexandra Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. For landlords with property near Portsmouth & Southsea station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you look after a building such as Ark Dickens Primary Academy, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Landport is about 1 mile south-west of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. Bookings from Landport are handled just like any other: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Landport is one of the towns and villages in Portsmouth we cover for storm damage roof reports.
We survey roofs across PO1, PO2 and PO5 for storm damage roof reports and the streets around it.

What’s near Landport
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Painters Arms, St Edmund's Catholic School and Alexandra Park, among other places. There’s a railway station in Landport itself: Portsmouth & Southsea station. A little further out are Royal Portsmouth Hospital (less than half a mile south-west) and Charles Dickens Birthplace Museum (within half a mile north). Green spaces nearby include Milton Locks and Portsdown Hill.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Being in a smaller place like Landport doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets in another room

Advice
Why get it checked now?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. Those photos show the damage as it was. Around Landport, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

FAQs for Landport
Is my home in Landport listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Landport within the area you cover?
Yes, Landport is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we cannot predict the outcome.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when booking.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes 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.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Photograph damage inside the house too
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Honest limits
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:
- A price for the repairs
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- A decision on your insurance claim
