Storm damage roof report in High Cross, Hampshire
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in High Cross, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Damaged ridges and hips
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a small place like High Cross, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- 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 photographs.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

How a storm damage roof report works in High Cross
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 slate and tile slopes, flashings and flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ridge tiles that have come loose and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls.
Many homes in small places like High Cross face open ground, 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.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Questions from High Cross
Is High Cross in the area you cover?
Yes, High Cross is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in High Cross as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like High Cross?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That’s not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
How do I book a survey in High Cross?

Leaks and storm damage in High Cross
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Anyone responsible for a site like Froxfield Church of England Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
High Cross is about 3 miles north-west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We visit High Cross as part of our work across Hampshire, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. High Cross is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover for storm damage roof reports. There is also a page for Portsmouth.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in High Cross?
Insurers frequently want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
What to check before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours

Why act early in High Cross
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Outbuildings and barns around High Cross are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in High Cross
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Height and safe access
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- The address and postcode of the property
When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
