About our storm damage roof report in Little London
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We survey flashings, chimney stacks and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are slipped or missing slates or tiles and stains appearing after strong winds.
For a small place like Little London, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
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 it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Little London questions
Will you come out to Little London?
Yes. Little London is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Little London?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
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 every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.

What else we do in Little London
What we’re asked to look at in Little London
Branches and trees frequently come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photos.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Broken or displaced guttering
The streets around a church such as Christ Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What exactly goes into their report
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
If you’re unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails often fail first. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Storm damage roof reports in Little London: local notes
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If you look after a building such as Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Little London can be hard to find from a postcode alone, 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.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
