Storm damage roof report in Appleshaw: what you get
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey slate and tile slopes, flashings and ridges and hips, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged ridges and hips and gaps where slates or tiles have gone.
Roofs in small places like Appleshaw often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

FAQs for Appleshaw
Is Appleshaw within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is my home in Appleshaw listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level, and we’ll record the rest.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
Useful tips for Appleshaw property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.

The survey, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Appleshaw, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Appleshaw
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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. 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 the council is the place to ask.
Anyone responsible for a site like Appleshaw St Peter's CofE 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 you let a flat or house near Andover station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

What happens if roof problems are left?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. That keeps a record of how it looked. Older and listed buildings around Appleshaw may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

When to book a survey in Appleshaw
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- New damp or leaks inside
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter in the Wood, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What happens after the report arrives
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What exactly goes into their report
DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
