Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Peel Common
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: 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. If you are worried about damaged flat roof membrane and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Peel Common face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What affects the price in Peel Common
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
We confirm the exact price before you book, so you know the cost up front. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Around Peel Common, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Advice
What a storm damage roof report does not cover
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Areas we cannot see safely
- Estimates of repair costs
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you are not relying only on your own photos. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
All our prices include VAT. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Why us?
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Every finding written up with photos
- An independent look at the roof
- More than 20 years surveying roofs

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Common roof problems in Peel Common
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.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- New damp or leaks inside
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Loose or torn flashings
The streets around a church such as Peel Common Mission Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Questions to ask before booking
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs

What else we do in Peel Common
Peel Common roofs and the weather
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Peel Common, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you own a rental within reach of Fareham station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you look after a building like Peel Common Junior School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Peel Common
Is Peel Common within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Peel Common listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
