Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Burley Street
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We are often asked to look into roofs hit by falling trees and slates and tiles blown off the roof, on flashings, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
Somewhere as small as Burley Street, older roofs have often been repaired many times. 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 works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Storm damage roof reports around Burley Street
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. Avon Tyrrell House, about 2.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Burley Street. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Burley Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

What this survey cannot tell you
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- The outcome of a claim
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Areas we cannot see safely
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Chimney stacks
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What to tell us when you contact us
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- When you need the report by
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Branches and debris can damage flat roofs or block outlets. We record what we find.
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. We photograph and describe each one.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Burley Street often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Advice
FAQs for Burley Street
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burley Street?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover Burley Street?
Yes, Burley Street is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
