Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Little Posbrook
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We are often asked to look into gutters pulled loose in the wind and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks.
Somewhere as small as Little Posbrook, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. We look at whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Useful tips for Little Posbrook property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Why act early in Little Posbrook
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. For older village homes like those around Little Posbrook, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

FAQs for Little Posbrook
Is Little Posbrook within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is my home in Little Posbrook listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Roof by roof
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Flat roof coverings
On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. Damage is photographed and described.
Honest limits
A survey is a proper look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- The outcome of a claim
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.

The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere like Little Posbrook needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets in another room

Advice
Leaks and storm damage in Little Posbrook
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Little Posbrook, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you own a rental within reach of Fareham station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Anyone responsible for a site like Stubbington House School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

When to book a survey in Little Posbrook
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
For hotels and guest houses around Little Posbrook, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it is worth knowing the roof’s condition.
