FAQs for Regents Park
Is Regents Park within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Regents Park?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That is not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we can’t predict the outcome.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Storm damage roof report in Regents Park: what you get
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you’re worried about stains appearing after strong winds and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Around Regents Park, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it is not always obvious where it starts. It’s worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
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.

Storm damage roof reports around Regents Park
Regents Park is within about 1 mile of the coast, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often 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.
For landlords with property near Millbrook (Hants) station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Trinity: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. For a survey in Regents Park, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Booking a survey

Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
When you need someone else
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Estimates of repair costs
- Acting for you with the insurer
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
Leave it or get it looked at?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. Around Regents Park, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
What you get with us
- Packages from £150, inc. VAT
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)

- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Roof area
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Regents Park?
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Lead lifted at abutments
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Marlands Shopping Centre, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
Before you book any roof surveyor

- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
