Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
About our storm damage roof report in Timsbury
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. If you’ve noticed slipped or missing slates or tiles and damaged flat roof membrane, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and ridges and hips alike.
Roofs in small places like Timsbury frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Storm damage roof reports in Timsbury: local notes
Mottisfont Abbey, about 1.6 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Timsbury. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you let a flat or house near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take a building like Stanbridge Earls School: a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Timsbury is about 3 miles north-west of Romsey, in Hampshire. Bookings from Timsbury are handled just like any other: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. Timsbury is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work. You can also see our page for Southampton.

Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
When you need someone else
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Negotiating a claim settlement

Questions from Timsbury
Do you cover smaller places like Timsbury?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Timsbury listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Timsbury
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Why get it checked now?
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Older and listed buildings around Timsbury may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking.

The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Timsbury, 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 when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Let us know about parking near the property
