North Baddesley Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm for North Baddesley, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Loose or torn flashings
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
About our storm damage roof report in North Baddesley
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 is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you’ve noticed cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and damaged ridges and hips, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older cottages and houses around North Baddesley may have roofs with little or no underlay. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Finding where it gets in, and whether it’s old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are often the first clues.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
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.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Don’t go up a ladder to look.

North Baddesley questions
Do roofs near the sea, like those around North Baddesley, take more of a battering?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in North Baddesley?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
How long will you be at the property?
It normally takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The report follows by email.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Do you work in North Baddesley?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes North Baddesley.

Advice
Why act early in North Baddesley
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it is better to know. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Around North Baddesley, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
