Martin questions
Is Martin within the area you cover?
Yes, Martin is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Martin?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. 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.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
About our storm damage roof report in Martin
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. Common reasons to book are roofs hit by falling trees and gutters pulled loose in the wind, across flashings, gutters and fascias and flat roofs.
Many homes in small places like Martin 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 written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Martin needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
Why it is worth a survey now in Martin
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. For an older or listed building in a place like Martin, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
Why book with us
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- PI and public liability insurance

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
High winds can loosen pots, cowls and aerials on stacks. The report notes any damage to the stack.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Leaks and storm damage in Martin
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
In and around Martin, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.

What we are asked to look at in Martin
Storms don’t 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.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
