Do you need a storm damage roof report in North Fareham?
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.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Shop and office owners around Fareham Shopping Centre may find that finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
How a storm damage roof report works in North Fareham
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It is yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. We survey flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged ridges and hips and loose or torn flashings.
Roofs in small places like North Fareham frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Questions from North Fareham
Will you come out to North Fareham?
Yes, North Fareham is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in North Fareham?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and North Fareham is within about 2 miles of the coast.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take between one and two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
What affects the price in North Fareham
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Booking your survey

The coast is about 2 miles or less from North Fareham. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies, and the insurer decides the claim. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.

If the damage is partly wear and tear, it is better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so there are no surprises later. Older cottages and farmhouses around North Fareham can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.

Take a look at how roof surveys are priced and what we found on two real jobs.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey usually takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older rural homes like those around North Fareham can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
