About our storm damage roof report in Lockerley
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey flat roofs, gutters and fascias and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are water coming in after the storm and holes or cracks caused by debris.
For a small place like Lockerley, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Wind can peel back flashings at abutments and stacks. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Lockerley, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
How to book
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us, tell us about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Which survey package you book
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Roof area
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The kind of building and roof involved
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.

Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Lockerley?
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
If you own a rental within reach of Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Before you book anyone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How long the report takes to arrive

Lockerley questions
Do you cover Lockerley?
Yes, Lockerley is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Lockerley as anywhere else.
Is my home in Lockerley listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
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. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
How do I book a survey in Lockerley?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
Wind, rain and roofs in Lockerley
Mottisfont Abbey, about 1.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Lockerley. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. 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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you look after a building such as Lockerley Church of England Endowed Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
