Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Hyde
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. Typical surveys look at loose or torn flashings and water coming in after the storm, across flashings, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias.
For a small place like Hyde, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What else we do in Hyde
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Hyde
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Landlords and letting agents in Hyde book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. Around Hyde, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.

What happens on the day
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older roofs in small places like Hyde can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is 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.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft

When to book a survey in Hyde
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
Anyone responsible for a site like Hyde Church of England Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured for the work?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How long the report takes to arrive
Wind, rain and roofs in Hyde
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. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. About 4.4 miles north lies Breamore House, a reminder of how long the area around Hyde has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Ascension, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

FAQs for Hyde
Is Hyde in the area you cover?
Yes, Hyde is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Is my home in Hyde listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it as you book and we will explain what’s needed.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
