Storm Damage Roof Report in Crow

How a storm damage roof report works in Crow
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. Common reasons to book are lead lifted at abutments and damaged ridges and hips, across flat roofs, ridges and hips and flashings.
In a village or hamlet like Crow, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly 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 is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Acting quickly normally means less damage overall. For an older or listed building in a place like Crow, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Check how your policy defines a storm
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Crow
The wider area around Crow has a long history of building, with Avon Tyrrell House about 2.4 miles south-east. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Ringwood Junior School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Crow can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. 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.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Book a survey

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Crow
Is my home in Crow listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Crow?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Crow is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
How do I book a survey in Crow?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
What this survey can’t tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- How your policy defines a storm
- Estimates of repair costs
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Gutters and fascias
- Flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips

- Slate and tile slopes
Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. The report notes any damage to the stack.
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.
For landlords and managing agents
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Crow. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
