Signs you need a storm damage roof report in North Boarhunt
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Loose or torn flashings
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of the Holy Trinity, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
Storm damage roof report in North Boarhunt: what you get
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you’re worried about new damp or leaks inside and lead lifted at abutments, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks alike.
Many homes in small places like North Boarhunt face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. 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.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects frequently fail in high winds. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We record what we can see of the fixings.
FAQs for North Boarhunt
Is the coastal weather around North Boarhunt hard on roofs?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows.
Do you cover smaller places like North Boarhunt?
Yes, North Boarhunt is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take an hour or two for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. The written report follows by email.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in North Boarhunt
The coast is about 4 miles or less from North Boarhunt, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you own a rental within reach of Portchester station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Shop and office owners around Fareham Shopping Centre may find that a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.

What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Rural addresses near North Boarhunt 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. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.

Advice
Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
