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.

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.

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.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- 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
