How a storm damage roof report works in Warblington
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey chimney stacks, flashings and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and damaged flat roof membrane.
Somewhere as small as Warblington, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What a survey costs

Warblington questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Warblington?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Warblington?
Yes, Warblington is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
What else we do in Warblington
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Warblington?
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Water coming in after the storm
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
Homes near green spaces like Eames Farm can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Leaks and storm damage in Warblington
Warblington lies within about 1 mile of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Driving rain off the sea can be pushed into gaps that stay dry in calmer weather, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. 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. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
For landlords with property near Warblington station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Thomas à Becket Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Warblington, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- 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.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It is your record to use.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Checking the roof from the ground
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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Warblington can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
