About our storm damage roof report in Holt End
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. If you’re worried about torn or lifted flat roof coverings and gutters pulled loose in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Holt End, older roofs have often 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.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Holt End
The wider area around Holt End has a long history of building, with Bentworth Hall about 0.3 miles east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you live in an older home near St. Mary's Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For landlords with property near Alton station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Holt End is about 4 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. Anywhere in Holt End, we can carry out storm damage roof reports at your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, large and small. Reading is in our area too.

How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Holt End often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Holt End: your questions answered
Is Holt End in the area you cover?
Yes, Holt End is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Holt End listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
Common roof problems in Holt End
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Loose or torn flashings
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mary's Bentworth Church of England Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
