How a storm damage roof report works in Darby Green
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. We survey flat roofs, flashings and slate and tile slopes, and people most frequently book us about torn or lifted flat roof coverings and slipped or missing slates or tiles.
Being in a small place like Darby Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around Darby Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Advice
Storm damage roof reports in Darby Green: local notes
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. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Potley Hill Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Hart Shopping Centre, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.

What we are asked to look at in Darby Green
Insurers frequently want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Loose or torn flashings
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
Take an older house close to St Barnabas Church: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Questions from Darby Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Darby Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Darby Green?
Yes, Darby Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. We will confirm the timing when you book.
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. We photograph any we find.
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
