Storm damage roof report in Hound Green: what you get
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photographs to give to your insurer. If you are worried about damaged gutters and fascias and new damp or leaks inside, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes alike.
Being in a small place like Hound Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: 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.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Hound Green roofs and the weather
The wider area around Hound Green has a long history of building, with Stratfield Saye House about 2.4 miles north-west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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 let a flat or house near Hook station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Hound Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Keep pets in another room
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
Book 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 use the contact form when you are ready.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports

When to book a survey in Hound Green
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Look out for signs like these:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Flat roof edges peeled back
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Mattingley Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Hound Green
Is Hound Green in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Hound Green is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hound Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, frequently where nails have rusted. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Why act early in Hound Green
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. For an older or listed building in a place like Hound Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
