What we do, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes about one to two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around East Cholderton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in East Cholderton
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We survey flashings, flat roofs and ridges and hips, and people most often book us about flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and damage from fallen branches or debris.
Many homes in small places like East Cholderton face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in East Cholderton
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you let a flat or house near Grateley station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Anyone responsible for a site like Amport Church of England Primary School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Do you cover East Cholderton?

Does a conservation area affect roof work in East Cholderton?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
