Get a clear view of the roof at a property in Dogmersfield from an independent roof surveyor. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Water coming in after the storm
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Dogmersfield
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. If you’re worried about damaged gutters and fascias and damaged ridges and hips, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on chimney stacks, flat roofs and ridges and hips alike.
In a village or hamlet like Dogmersfield, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We check what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Questions from Dogmersfield
Is my home in Dogmersfield listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Dogmersfield within the area you cover?
Yes, Dogmersfield is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s 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.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. The report follows by email.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Dogmersfield
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Loose or torn flashings
- Flat roof edges peeled back
Anyone responsible for a site like Dogmersfield Church of England Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What experience they bring
- Will the report include photos?
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone

How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Rural addresses near Dogmersfield 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. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
Book a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Dogmersfield
The wider area around Dogmersfield has a long history of building, with Farnham Castle about 4.7 miles south-east. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For businesses in and around places such as Hart Shopping Centre, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. If you own a rental within reach of Winchfield station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Should I look at the roof myself first?

Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
