Storm damage roof report in Deane, Hampshire
Not sure what state the roof is in? You can book a storm damage roof report in Deane and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damaged pots on the stack
Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
About our storm damage roof report in Deane
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 photographs, 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 can’t say whether a claim will be paid. If you’ve noticed lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and damaged flat roof membrane, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Deane makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What we look for on each type of roof
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Flat roof coverings
Branches and debris can damage flat roofs or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Deane, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- 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
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Leaks and storm damage in Deane
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often 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 yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of All Saints, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Common questions in Deane
Is Deane in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Deane as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Deane within the area you cover?
Yes. Deane is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There is no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
What we’re asked to look at in Deane
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Loose or torn flashings
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- New damp or leaks inside
If you let a flat or house near Overton station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What exactly goes into their report
What happens if roof problems are left?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. For an older or listed building in a place like Deane, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
