Storm damage roof report in Crookham Village, Hampshire
An independent record of roof damage after a storm across Crookham Village, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Water coming in after the storm
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Crookham Village
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes, and people most frequently book us about lead lifted at abutments and flat roof edges peeled back.
For a small place like Crookham Village, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Crookham Village can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us, tell us about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Storm damage roof reports in Crookham Village: local notes
About 4.5 miles south-east lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Crookham Village has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, 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. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Landlords with a home close to Fleet station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. For an older house near a landmark like All Saints' Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Living close to Calthorpe Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
Crookham Village is about 1 mile west of Fleet, in Hampshire. If you’re in Crookham Village, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire. Our Reading page covers surveys nearby.

DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Crookham Village
Do you carry out roof surveys in Crookham Village?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Do you cover smaller places like Crookham Village?
Yes, Crookham Village is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How big the roof is
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Which survey package you book
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
To get a price for storm damage roof reports in Crookham Village, ring 07833 053749 or email us. The address, the type of property and what you’d like to know help us price the survey accurately.

In a small place like Crookham Village, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
