Storm damage roof report in Fisher's Pond: what you get

The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We survey ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and stains appearing after strong winds.

Roofs in small places like Fisher's Pond often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.

Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Honest limits

No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:

  • The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
  • Whether your insurer will pay the claim
  • How your policy defines a storm

If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and does not.

What this survey covers

What happens if roof problems are left?

With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. For older village homes like those around Fisher's Pond, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Leaks and storm damage in Fisher's Pond

With South Stoneham House about 4.6 miles south-west, Fisher's Pond sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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.

Landlords with a home close to Eastleigh station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Colden Common Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Practical tips

There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:

  • Note the date and time you first saw the damage
  • Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
  • Check your policy for how to report damage
  • Read your policy wording on storm damage

Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.

Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.

Fisher's Pond: your questions answered

Is Fisher's Pond within the area you cover?

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 you book.

Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fisher's Pond?

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.

Is this a RICS 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.

Common roof problems in Fisher's Pond

Insurers frequently want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.

Typical things we’re asked to look at include:

  • Damaged pots on the stack
  • Loose or torn flashings
  • Roofs hit by falling trees
  • Gaps where slates or tiles have gone

Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Trinity: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
  • Their report turnaround times
  • Their drone registration, if they fly one

What to expect from a roof survey

How the survey works

Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere like Fisher's Pond needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.

  1. You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
  2. Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
  3. We view the roof from safe positions.
  4. Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
  5. You receive the written report with photos.

Before we arrive

  • Show us where any leaks or stains appear
  • Move anything stored under the loft hatch
  • Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

How to book

Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we will point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
