Storm Damage Roof Report in Cole Henley
Storm damage roof reports in Cole Henley and the rest of Hampshire. Surveys run on any day of the week.
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
About our storm damage roof report in Cole Henley
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We are frequently asked to look into lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, on gutters and fascias, flashings and chimney stacks.
Somewhere as small as Cole Henley, 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. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Cole Henley, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Cole Henley
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. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damaged ridges and hips
For landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
What to check before booking
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What exactly goes into their report
- Are they insured for the work?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: 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. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Wind, rain and roofs in Cole Henley
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Testbourne Community School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Cole Henley questions
Do you cover Cole Henley?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Cole Henley is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Cole Henley?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Height and safe access
- House, block, shop or office
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- When you need the report by
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
