Storm damage roof report in Hook
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We’re not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are flat roof edges peeled back and damaged gutters and fascias.
In a smaller place like Hook, some roofs face open ground, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that’s a useful clue. It’s useful to know when and where the water appears. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

What we look for on each type of roof
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Why get it checked now?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, so you’re not relying only on your own photos. On a bungalow or cottage around Hook, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

Storm damage roof reports around Hook
Stratfield Saye House, about 4.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hook. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For an older house near a landmark like St John the Evangelist, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you let a flat or house near Hook station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take a building like Hook Junior School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

FAQs for Hook
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hook?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like Hook?
Yes, Hook is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Hook is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- 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
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
