About our storm damage roof report in Allbrook
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you’ve noticed damaged gutters and fascias and slates and tiles blown off the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Allbrook, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that’s a useful clue. Tell us when it happens when you contact us. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Useful tips for Allbrook property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.

Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, especially where the nails have corroded. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, it normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Allbrook, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- 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 is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Getting a price

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Allbrook
Do you carry out roof surveys in Allbrook?
Yes, Allbrook is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Allbrook as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Allbrook?
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. If a 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.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Allbrook?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
What we are asked to look at in Allbrook
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
Landlords with a home close to Chandlers Ford station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- Is VAT included in the price?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Leaks and storm damage in Allbrook
South Stoneham House, about 3.7 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Allbrook. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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.
If you live in an older home near St. Peter's Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Scantabout Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
