About our storm damage roof report in Lane End
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you’ve noticed flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and ridge tiles that have come loose, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Lane End, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We check 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.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Lane End
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us 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. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Lane End 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 start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Find any records of previous roof work
Arrange a survey
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. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

Lane End: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Lane End?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Lane End listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Lane End
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Hinton Ampner House, about 2.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Lane End. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
Lane End is about 5 miles south-east of Winchester, in Hampshire. In Lane End, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Southampton is in our area too.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Lane End
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Water coming in after the storm
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
Around Lane End, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- When you will get the report
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. The report notes any damage to the stack.
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. We photograph each gap.
