About our storm damage roof report in East Harting
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you’ve noticed flat roof edges peeled back and broken or displaced guttering, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like East Harting, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s 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 photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Storm damage roof reports in East Harting: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. With Uppark about 1.7 miles south-west, East Harting sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
For landlords with property near Petersfield station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Take a building like Harting CofE Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Mary & St Gabriel: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
The survey, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near East Harting 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.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
East Harting questions
Is East Harting in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in East Harting listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take an hour or two for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You’ll then get the report by email.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
