How a storm damage roof report works in Meonstoke
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. The claim decision rests with your insurer. Common reasons to book are damaged ridges and hips and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, across flat roofs, flashings and chimney stacks.
For a small place like Meonstoke, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Meonstoke
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. Historic houses such as Hinton Ampner House, about 4.8 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Meonstoke goes. Older homes in the wider area often 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.
The streets around a church like Church of St Andrew are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. On timing, it usually takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Meonstoke, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Jot down any questions you want answered

What this survey cannot tell you
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Estimates of repair costs
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Negotiating a claim settlement

- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
What affects the price in Meonstoke
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The roof’s overall size
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- House, block, shop or office
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- When you need the report by
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
What we’re asked to look at in Meonstoke
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. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
Take a building like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Meonstoke: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Meonstoke?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover Meonstoke?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Meonstoke as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There is no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
