What happens if roof problems are left?
It is useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. For an older or listed building in a place like Hatchet Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.

How a storm damage roof report works in Hatchet Green
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. We survey flashings, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and people most frequently book us about lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and roofs hit by falling trees.
Somewhere as small as Hatchet Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Hatchet Green
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Hatchet Green
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photographs.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What experience they bring
- What exactly goes into their report
Honest limits
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- A decision on your insurance claim
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes

FAQs for Hatchet Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hatchet Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Hatchet Green in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Hatchet Green is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Hatchet Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Wind, rain and roofs in Hatchet Green
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 2.6 miles west lies Breamore House, a reminder of how long the area around Hatchet Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Anyone responsible for a site like Hale Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Checking the roof from the ground
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
