Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Ibworth
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey ridges and hips, flat roofs and flashings, and people most frequently book us about lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and gaps where slates or tiles have gone.
Many homes in small places like Ibworth face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What this survey can’t tell you
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- A price for the repairs
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will suggest the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. We photograph each gap.
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Ibworth
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
If you own a rental within reach of Overton station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Ibworth
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. The Vyne, about 4.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Ibworth. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

Common questions in Ibworth
Do you cover Ibworth?
Yes, Ibworth is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Ibworth?
Yes, Ibworth is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
What if the roof was already worn?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.

What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Ibworth, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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 ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Keep pets in another room
How to book
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
Advice
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings

- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The size of the roof
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
