How a storm damage roof report works in Enham Alamein
Most policies do not 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 like corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. Common reasons to book are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, on chimney stacks, flat roofs and flashings.
In a village or hamlet like Enham Alamein, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Checking the roof from the ground
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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Enham Alamein
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For an older house near a landmark like Saint George, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

- Estimates of repair costs
- Areas we can’t see safely

Roofs we survey in Enham Alamein
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Don’t go up a ladder to look.

What happens on the day
We look at 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 typically takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Enham Alamein, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Is Enham Alamein within the area you cover?
Yes, Enham Alamein is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Enham Alamein?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Enham Alamein is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Why get it checked now?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. For an older or listed building in a place like Enham Alamein, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
