Storm Damage Roof Report in Battramsley
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Battramsley, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older rural homes like those around Battramsley can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Storm damage roof report in Battramsley: what you get
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. If you’ve noticed slipped or missing slates or tiles and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and chimney stacks alike.
In a village or hamlet like Battramsley, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

What else we do in Battramsley
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Battramsley
Is the coastal weather around Battramsley hard on roofs?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Do you cover smaller places like Battramsley?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Battramsley?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from ground level or from windows. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Battramsley
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. In a place like Battramsley, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

What affects the price in Battramsley
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- How big the roof is
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Roof by roof
Ridge and hip tiles
A lifted ridge tile can let water into the roof. Each one is recorded with photos.
Flat roof coverings
On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. We record any damage and where it is.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Battramsley
Battramsley is within about 3 miles of the coast, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. 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. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you own a rental within reach of Sway station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St John, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
