Mapledurwell Storm Damage Roof Report

Checking the roof from ground level
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
How a storm damage roof report works in Mapledurwell
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you’re worried about lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
For a small place like Mapledurwell, 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, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What else we do in Mapledurwell
For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. We record any damage we can see.
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Mapledurwell, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare

- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Mapledurwell roofs and the weather
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Historic houses like The Vyne, about 4.4 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Mapledurwell goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Hook station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Festival Place, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. Mary, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
