The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like North Hayling needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

About our storm damage roof report in North Hayling
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. Typical surveys look at cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and slates and tiles blown off the roof, across flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks.
Many homes in small places like North Hayling face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, especially where the nails have corroded. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Useful tips for North Hayling property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.

Wind, rain and roofs in North Hayling
North Hayling is within about 1 mile of the coast, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies, and the insurer decides the claim. 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like The Hayling College will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Trees in and around Eames Farm shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date

When to book a survey in North Hayling
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Water coming in after the storm
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

North Hayling: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in North Hayling is listed?
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.
Is North Hayling within the area you cover?
Yes, North Hayling is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in North Hayling?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
