Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:

- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft

Storm damage roof report in Froyle: what you get
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. If you’ve noticed broken or displaced guttering and slates and tiles blown off the roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Froyle, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
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, whichever applies.

What else we do in Froyle
What we’re asked to look at in Froyle
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Common reasons to book include:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary of the Assumption, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Froyle questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Froyle?
Yes, Froyle is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Froyle as anywhere else.
Will you come out to Froyle?
Yes, Froyle is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- House, block, shop or office
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Froyle
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
Landlords with a home close to Bentley (Hampshire) station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Cottages and farmhouses around Froyle often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
