Storm damage roof report in Lower Green
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We survey flashings, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias, and people most often book us about damaged pots on the stack and slipped or missing slates or tiles.
For a small place like Lower Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a small place like Lower Green, access is normally 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.

Lower Green: your questions answered
Is Lower Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Lower Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you cover Lower Green?
Yes, Lower Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There’s no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It is your record to use.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Lower Green
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. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you own a rental within reach of Liss station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

Different roofs, different checks

Lead flashings
Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
Why get it checked now?
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. For an older or listed building in a place like Lower Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
