Storm damage roof report in East Anton
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. You get a written report with photographs to give to your insurer. If you’ve noticed lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and new damp or leaks inside, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like East Anton can let water in, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp on a chimney breast isn’t always rain from above, which is why it is worth tracing properly. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
When to book a survey in East Anton
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Damaged ridges and hips
If you run a hotel or guest house in or near East Anton, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it pays to find faults before guests do.

Leaks and storm damage in East Anton
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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
If you let a flat or house near Andover station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you look after a building such as Endeavour Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in East Anton
Is East Anton within the area you cover?
Yes, East Anton is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in East Anton?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That is not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to East Anton is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
