Storm damage roof report in Goodworth Clatford
After a storm, it is useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you are worried about damaged pots on the stack and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and hips, flashings and flat roofs alike.
Many homes in small places like Goodworth Clatford face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, 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 photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Why act early in Goodworth Clatford

What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Older rural homes like those around Goodworth Clatford can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- 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.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Photograph damage inside the house too
If you’re unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Goodworth Clatford?
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
Anyone responsible for a site like Clatford Church of England Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Goodworth Clatford
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Goodworth Clatford?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Goodworth Clatford?
Yes, Goodworth Clatford is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Wind, rain and roofs in Goodworth Clatford
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the wind. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
