Storm damage roof report in Four Marks: what you get
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. Typical surveys look at roofs hit by falling trees and lead lifted at abutments, on ridges and hips, flat roofs and chimney stacks.
Around Four Marks, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp on a chimney breast isn’t always rain from above, which is why it’s worth tracing properly. It’s worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
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.

Common questions in Four Marks
Do you carry out roof surveys in Four Marks?
Yes, Four Marks is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Do you cover smaller places like Four Marks?
Yes, Four Marks is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There is no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.

What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
High winds can loosen pots, cowls and aerials on stacks. The report notes any damage to the stack.
Flat roof coverings
Branches and debris can damage flat roofs or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It usually takes between one and two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. A visit to a smaller place like Four Marks is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey

Storm damage roof reports in Four Marks: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Historic houses like Bentworth Hall, about 2.7 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Four Marks goes. If yours is one of the older homes, 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.
Take a building like Four Marks Church of England Primary School: a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you own a rental within reach of Alton station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. The streets around a church such as Church of the Good Shepherd are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
