How a storm damage roof report works in Amport
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. Common reasons to book are gutters pulled loose in the wind and damaged ridges and hips, on chimney stacks, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias.
In a village or hamlet like Amport, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

How we price storm damage roof reports
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Height and safe access
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.

Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Amport, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Wind, rain and roofs in Amport
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so check with the council. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you let a flat or house near Grateley station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. Anyone responsible for a site like Amport Church of England Primary School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Amport: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Amport is listed?
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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Amport?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Amport is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There’s no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
How it works
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, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Amport, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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 photos, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
