Storm damage roof report in Hinton Ampner, Hampshire
Storm damage roof reports across Hinton Ampner, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged gutters and fascias
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Hinton Ampner
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a written report with photos, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey ridges and hips, chimney stacks and flashings, and people most often book us about slipped or missing slates or tiles and damaged flat roof membrane.
Somewhere as small as Hinton Ampner, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re 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.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

When to book a survey in Hinton Ampner
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Water coming in after the storm
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Lead lifted at abutments
Take a building like Cheriton Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around Hinton Ampner, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Storm damage roof reports in Hinton Ampner: 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Hinton Ampner House, about 0.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hinton Ampner. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Hinton Ampner
Is my home in Hinton Ampner listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Hinton Ampner in the area you cover?
Yes, Hinton Ampner is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Older and listed buildings around Hinton Ampner may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
