Storm damage roof report in Lower Common: what you get
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We survey chimney stacks, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged pots on the stack and damaged ridges and hips.
Many homes in small places like Lower Common face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Lower Common
Stratfield Saye House, about 4.3 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Lower Common. On older houses around here, roofs often 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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Trees in and around Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it is safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. In a small place like Lower Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.

What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Rural addresses near Lower Common can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Find any records of previous roof work
Getting a price
