Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Storm damage roof report in Gundleton
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We survey flashings, ridges and hips and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are stains appearing after strong winds and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
Roofs in small places like Gundleton frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Storm damage roof reports in Gundleton: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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. With Hinton Ampner House about 4 miles south, Gundleton sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Perins School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Gundleton is about 7 miles south-west of Alton, in Hampshire. We visit Gundleton as part of our work across Hampshire. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire. Our Southampton page covers surveys nearby.

Gundleton: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Gundleton?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Gundleton?
Yes, Gundleton is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we cannot predict the outcome.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Will you walk 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 it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Checking the roof from the ground
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
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.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Gundleton?
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People usually call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
We are often asked to look at:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damaged pots on the stack
- New damp or leaks inside
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Are they insured for the work?
- Will the report include photos?
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Gundleton, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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 safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Booking a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or email us to find out.

Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Check how your policy defines a storm
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
