Landlord and commercial surveys in Titchfield
Landlords and letting agents in Titchfield book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
About our storm damage roof report in Titchfield
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are lead lifted at abutments and broken or displaced guttering.
In a village or hamlet like Titchfield, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What else we do in Titchfield
Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Titchfield, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Getting a price

Common questions in Titchfield
Is my home in Titchfield 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.
Will you come out to Titchfield?
Yes. Titchfield is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when 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 doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Leaks and storm damage in Titchfield
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Titchfield. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, often gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
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, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Titchfield, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition.
