Storm damage roof report in Ibsley: what you get
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. If you’re worried about broken or displaced guttering and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias alike.
In a village or hamlet like Ibsley, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. 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 photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like Ibsley, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, 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 photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. We record which are loose or damaged.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
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.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Ibsley
Is Ibsley within the area you cover?
Yes. Ibsley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Ibsley?
Yes, Ibsley is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when you book.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.

Why act early in Ibsley
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Ibsley
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. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Martins, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Whatever the street in Ibsley, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Photograph the damage safely from below
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
