Storm damage roof report in Littlestead Green
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. We are often asked to look into gutters pulled loose in the wind and damaged ridges and hips, on ridges and hips, flat roofs and flashings.
Somewhere as small as Littlestead Green, 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. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

What we’re asked to look at in Littlestead Green

It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged gutters and fascias
Take an older house close to All Saints Church: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Littlestead Green
Mapledurham House, about 3.9 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Littlestead Green. 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. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For businesses in and around places such as Broad Street Mall, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. Trees in and around Ali's Pond Local Nature Reserve shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Littlestead Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Littlestead Green?
Yes, Littlestead Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Littlestead Green is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That’s not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from ground level or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Littlestead Green
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps with budgets and planning.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
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.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Littlestead Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
