How a storm damage roof report works in Littleton
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. If you’re worried about damaged flat roof membrane and damaged pots on the stack, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Littleton, older roofs have often 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. 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.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Can I check my roof myself?
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
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.

Littleton: your questions answered
Is Littleton within the area you cover?
Yes, Littleton is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Littleton is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from ground level or from windows. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we will record the rest.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we cannot predict the outcome.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Storm damage roof reports in Littleton: local notes
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Catherine, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you let a flat or house near Winchester station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Anyone responsible for a site like Harestock Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it is safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Littleton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
