Storm damage roof report in Froxfield Green
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We don’t decide whether a storm met that test. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you’ve noticed broken or displaced guttering and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and hips, flat roofs and flashings alike.
Somewhere as small as Froxfield Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

When to book a survey in Froxfield Green
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. We record the damage and where it is, with photos.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Loose or torn flashings
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter on the Green are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Questions to ask before booking

Froxfield Green: your questions answered
Is my home in Froxfield Green listed or in a conservation area?
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 Froxfield Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Only from ground level or from windows. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Froxfield Green book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, it usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Froxfield Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Advice
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
Storm damage roof reports in Froxfield Green: local notes
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
Take a building like Froxfield Church of England Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you own a rental within reach of Petersfield station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
