Storm Damage Roof Report in Langrish
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Langrish, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damaged pots on the stack
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
About our storm damage roof report in Langrish
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. Common reasons to book are loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and damage from fallen branches or debris, on chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips.
Many homes in small places like Langrish face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Leaks and storm damage in Langrish
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Take a building like Langrish Primary School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Langrish questions
How do I find out if my home in Langrish is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Langrish?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
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 applicable let us see the rest.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. We record what we find.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
What happens if roof problems are left?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it is better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so you know what the roof shows. Outbuildings and barns around Langrish are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Langrish, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Common roof problems in Langrish
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Problems we come across often include:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St John the Evangelist, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
