Storm damage roof report in Hightown: what you get
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. We don’t decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you are worried about stains appearing after strong winds and loose or torn flashings, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Hightown, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How it works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Rural addresses near Hightown can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.

Questions from Hightown
Is my home in Hightown listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Hightown in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Hightown is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
How do I book a survey in Hightown?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
For landlords and managing agents
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.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
Why get it checked now?
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you’re not relying only on your own photos. For an older or listed building in a place like Hightown, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
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.

Useful tips for Hightown property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
What we can’t see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- A price for the repairs
- Negotiating a claim settlement
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you before booking. What our survey covers.

Wind, rain and roofs in Hightown
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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. About 3 miles south lies Avon Tyrrell House, a reminder of how long the area around Hightown has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St John the Baptist, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Ringwood Junior School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
