Questions from Longparish
Is Longparish in the area you cover?
Yes, Longparish is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Longparish within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. The report follows by email.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
How a storm damage roof report works in Longparish
Most policies don’t 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 like corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. If you’ve noticed loose or torn flashings and damaged ridges and hips, we can find out what’s behind it.
Roofs in small places like Longparish frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Longparish
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. For landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
A lifted ridge tile can let water into the roof. We photograph and describe the damage.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
What this survey can’t tell you
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- A price for the repairs
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- How your policy defines a storm
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check

Common roof problems in Longparish
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Water coming in after the storm
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Longparish Church of England Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs

How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Longparish frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
