Storm Damage Roof Report in Buckskin
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Buckskin, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Buckskin
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. 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 describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. Common reasons to book are damaged pots on the stack and slipped or missing slates or tiles, on flashings, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
Houses in smaller places like Buckskin can stand more in the open, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. It helps to know when and where the water appears. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Buckskin
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. In a smaller place like Buckskin, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.

Leaks and storm damage in Buckskin
The wider area around Buckskin has a long history of building, with The Vyne about 3.8 miles north-east. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. 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. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If you own a rental within reach of Basingstoke station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take an older house close to Church of St Thomas A Becket: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Common questions in Buckskin
Do you cover smaller places like Buckskin?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is Buckskin in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Buckskin as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Buckskin?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we will record the rest.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
What happens on the day
Photos 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 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a smaller place like Buckskin, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
