Storm damage roof report in Eversley Cross, Hampshire
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you decide what to do next. Storm damage roof reports in Eversley Cross.
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Water coming in after the storm
- Loose or torn flashings
Checking the roof from the ground
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.
Storm damage roof report in Eversley Cross
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you’ve noticed ridge tiles that have come loose and stains appearing after strong winds, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Eversley Cross, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We look at everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.

Eversley Cross questions
Is Eversley Cross within the area you cover?
Yes, Eversley Cross is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Eversley Cross?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Eversley Cross is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
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.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That’s not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Storm damage roof reports around Eversley Cross
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. 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 check with the council. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Take a building like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you own a rental within reach of Crowthorne station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
