Lord's Wood Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Lord's Wood, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Water coming in after the storm
- Loose or torn flashings
The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Lord's Wood, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s 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 view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Lord's Wood
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We don’t decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you’re worried about water coming in after the storm and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Lord's Wood makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Common roof problems in Lord's Wood
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Look out for signs like these:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
If you own a rental within reach of Eastleigh station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos

How we price storm damage roof reports
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included.
What to let us know when you get in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Anything about access we should know
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.
For landlords and managing agents
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Checking the roof from the ground
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
Storm damage roof reports in Lord's Wood: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. The wider area around Lord's Wood has a long history of building, with South Stoneham House about 4.1 miles south-west. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Colden Common Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Mary's Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. You will then get the report by email.
