Portsmouth Point roofs and the weather
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Portsmouth Point, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Portsmouth Garrison church, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Shop and office owners around Tricorn Centre may find that a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Portsmouth Point
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. Common reasons to book are damaged gutters and fascias and damaged pots on the stack, across ridges and hips, flashings and slate and tile slopes.
In a smaller place like Portsmouth Point, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. Let us know when it happens when you contact us. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why it is worth a survey now in Portsmouth Point
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. In an older home around Portsmouth Point, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
Why us?
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- An independent look at the roof
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- 20+ years’ experience

Questions to ask before you book
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Parking around Portsmouth Point is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Portsmouth Point questions
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Portsmouth Point?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details like ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
Is Portsmouth Point within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Portsmouth Point?
Just phone 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:

- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
