Storm damage roof report in Ladwell, Hampshire
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Ladwell. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Water coming in after the storm
Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
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.
Storm damage roof report in Ladwell: what you get
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you are worried about ridge tiles that have come loose and damaged flat roof membrane, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Ladwell, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We look at what can safely be seen 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 report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Ladwell?
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photos.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged pots on the stack
If you own a rental within reach of Chandlers Ford station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Leaks and storm damage in Ladwell
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. 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.
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. For site and facilities teams at buildings like John Keble Church of England Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Ladwell questions
Do you cover Ladwell?
Yes, Ladwell is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Ladwell?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details as you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. We’ll confirm the timing when you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.

How we price storm damage roof reports
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How big the roof is
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
What to tell us when you contact us
What helps most when you contact us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- When you need the report by
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a hamlet or village like Ladwell, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
How to book
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
Advice
What we can’t see
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- How your policy defines a storm
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up

- Flat roofs

- Flashings

Why act early in Ladwell
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. That keeps a record of how it looked. For an older or listed building in a place like Ladwell, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
