Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Faberstown
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. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. Typical surveys look at damage from fallen branches or debris and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, on gutters and fascias, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs.
For a small place like Faberstown, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It helps 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.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

- Negotiating a claim settlement
- Estimates of repair costs

Common roof problems in Faberstown
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Loose or torn flashings
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Common questions in Faberstown
Do you carry out roof surveys in Faberstown?
Yes, Faberstown is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Faberstown as anywhere else.
How do I find out if my home in Faberstown is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report does not include repair costs.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Only from the ground or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we will record the rest.
Before and after the survey
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Check your policy for how to report damage
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
What else we do in Faberstown
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Faberstown roofs and the weather
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter in the Wood: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Faberstown often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
