Storm damage roof report in Townhill Park
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. 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 like corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. If you’ve noticed gaps where slates or tiles have gone and damage from fallen branches or debris, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In older homes around places like Townhill Park, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Whether it’s long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are frequently the first clues.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Common questions in Townhill Park
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Townhill Park, take more of a battering?
It can do. Within about 4 miles of the sea, as Townhill Park is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Is my home in Townhill Park listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
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 is covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not 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.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Townhill Park
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Townhill Park. 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. 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.
With South Stoneham House about 0.9 miles north-west, the area around Townhill Park has a long history. On older roofs nearby, leaks often trace back to lead flashings, valleys and gutters. For landlords with property near Swaythling station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you look after a building such as Townhill Junior School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- How big the roof is
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Height and safe access
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
