Storm damage roof report in Droxford: what you get
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We survey chimney stacks, flashings and ridges and hips, and people most often book us about slipped or missing slates or tiles and damaged flat roof membrane.
For a small place like Droxford, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Droxford
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The roof’s overall size
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
These details help when you get in touch:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Droxford
Do you cover smaller places like Droxford?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Droxford?
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.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There’s no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Honest limits

- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we look at

- Flat roofs
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
Landlord and commercial surveys in Droxford
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Droxford roofs and the weather
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. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Droxford Junior School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

When to book a survey in Droxford
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.
We are often asked to look at:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Flat roof edges peeled back
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary and All Saints, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
What we do, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Droxford, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
