Segensworth: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Segensworth 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, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Segensworth within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.

Storm damage roof report in Segensworth: what you get
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. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. If you’ve noticed damaged pots on the stack and new damp or leaks inside, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Segensworth makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Leave it or get it looked at?
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. In a small place like Segensworth, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking.

When to book a survey in Segensworth
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
For landlords with property near Swanwick station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will the report include photos?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Their insurance cover
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Segensworth, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Leave side gates unlocked
How to book
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Advice
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Segensworth
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Segensworth, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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.
Shop and office owners around Fareham Shopping Centre may find that finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St John, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
