Storm damage roof report in Crockerhill, Hampshire
Need a storm damage roof report in Crockerhill? We can help, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
About our storm damage roof report in Crockerhill
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photographs to give to your insurer. If you’ve noticed lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and slates and tiles blown off the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, flashings and gutters and fascias alike.
Somewhere as small as Crockerhill, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We look at whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Crockerhill
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Crockerhill can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- 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.
Before we arrive

- Keep pets in another room
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
How to book
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Storm damage roof reports in Crockerhill: local notes
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Crockerhill, so storms can arrive with strong gusts off the water. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you own a rental within reach of Fareham station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.
Crockerhill is about 2 miles north of Fareham, in Hampshire. Crockerhill is part of the area we cover and the surrounding area as part of our work across London and South East England.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. Damage is photographed and described.
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. We record which are loose or damaged.
Common roof problems in Crockerhill
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Shop and office owners around Fareham Shopping Centre may find that a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.

Questions from Crockerhill
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Crockerhill?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Crockerhill within the area you cover?
Yes, Crockerhill is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
What this survey cannot tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- How your policy defines a storm
- A decision on your insurance claim
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.
