Storm Damage Roof Report in Kitwood
Know where you stand with the roof before you spend money on it. Storm damage roof reports in Kitwood.
- New damp or leaks inside
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older roofs in small places like Kitwood can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Check pets are kept safely away

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Kitwood
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. Typical surveys look at lead lifted at abutments and damaged pots on the stack, across gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flashings.
Roofs in small places like Kitwood frequently stand in the open, 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 written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Kitwood?
Landlords and building managers frequently need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Take a building like Four Marks Church of England Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?

What affects the price in Kitwood

- Building height and the viewpoints available
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Kitwood: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Kitwood?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is Kitwood in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Kitwood is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
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. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Kitwood?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Do not go up a ladder to look.
Leaks and storm damage in Kitwood
With Bentworth Hall about 3.8 miles north, Kitwood sits in an area with a long building history. 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 any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you live in an older home near Church of the Good Shepherd, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. The report notes any damage to the stack.
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.
