About our storm damage roof report in Ellisfield
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey flashings, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fallen branches or debris and new damp or leaks inside.
For a small place like Ellisfield, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Useful tips for Ellisfield property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It’s your record to use.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Ellisfield: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Ellisfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Ellisfield?
Yes, Ellisfield is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
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 for any emergency work.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
How do I book a survey in Ellisfield?

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Ellisfield
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
If you own a rental within reach of Basingstoke station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Flat roof coverings
Branches and debris can damage flat roofs or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Ellisfield
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The size of the roof
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Getting in touch
We’ll normally ask about:
- Anything about access we should know
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.

Storm damage roof reports around Ellisfield
About 3.9 miles south lies Hall Place, a reminder of how long the area around Ellisfield has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Take an older house close to Church of St. Martin: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you run a business near Festival Place, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as Ellisfield, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey

- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
