About our storm damage roof report in Crampmoor
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We survey chimney stacks, flashings and ridges and hips, and people most often book us about damage from fallen branches or debris and damaged flat roof membrane.
Being in a small place like Crampmoor makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Crampmoor roofs and the weather
Historic houses such as Mottisfont Abbey, about 4.4 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Crampmoor goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Take a building like Cupernham Infant School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. For an older house near a landmark such as St Swithun's Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

When you need someone else
It is useful to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- The outcome of a claim
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. Each area is photographed and described.
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 happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Around Crampmoor, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Let us know about parking near the property
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Related advice
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Crampmoor?
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
If you let a flat or house near Romsey station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What the survey will not cover
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Why get it checked now?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. Around Crampmoor, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What you get with us
- Surveys seven days a week
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- 98% customer satisfaction
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
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. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Crampmoor
Is my home in Crampmoor listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Crampmoor?
Yes, Crampmoor is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies.
