Storm damage roof report in Blendworth
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Typical surveys look at cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and broken or displaced guttering, on chimney stacks, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes.
Somewhere as small as Blendworth, 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, especially 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’s worth finding the cause soon.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Blendworth: your questions answered
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Blendworth, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Is Blendworth within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Blendworth?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.

What else we do in Blendworth
What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Blendworth can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Blendworth roofs and the weather
Blendworth is within about 5 miles of the coast, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, often gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. Historic houses like Uppark, about 4.8 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Blendworth goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Rowlands Castle station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. The streets around a church such as Church of the Holy Trinity are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Blendworth is about 1 mile north-east of Horndean, in Hampshire.

What we are asked to look at in Blendworth
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Water coming in after the storm
Take a building like Horndean Church of England Junior School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Useful tips for Blendworth property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
