About our storm damage roof report in Kempshott
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. 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. Common reasons to book are loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and stains appearing after strong winds, across flat roofs, flashings and ridges and hips.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Kempshott can let water in, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp on a chimney breast is not always rain from above, which is why it is worth tracing properly. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Kempshott
The Vyne, about 4.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Kempshott. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you look after a building such as Kempshott Junior School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Saint Mark's Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

What we are asked to look at in Kempshott
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. What happens next is up to the insurer.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Kempshott: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Kempshott?
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.
Do you cover Kempshott?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
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. Our report then records the roof.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That is not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
How we price storm damage roof reports

- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How big the roof is

- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.

The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Kempshott, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Advice
Why it’s worth a survey now in Kempshott
