Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Stubbington
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you’ve noticed damage from fallen branches or debris and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Stubbington can let water in, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp on a chimney breast is not always rain from above, which is why it is worth tracing properly. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Stubbington, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Stubbington roofs and the weather
Stubbington lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain finds any gap they leave, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
For landlords with property near Fareham station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Fareham Shopping Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.
Stubbington is about 2 miles south-west of Fareham, in Hampshire. We visit Stubbington as part of our work across Hampshire, for homes and businesses alike. Our Hampshire coverage includes Stubbington. Portsmouth is in our area too.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Stubbington
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Stains appearing after strong winds
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Holy Rood Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
What to check before booking
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What exactly goes into their report
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Stubbington is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Note where any stains or damp appear
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Stubbington
Is my home in Stubbington listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Stubbington?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Stubbington is within about 1 mile of the coast.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report is sent afterwards by email.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
