Storm damage roof report in Monkwood, Hampshire
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Monkwood, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- New damp or leaks inside
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a small place like Monkwood, access is usually 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.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.
Advice
How a storm damage roof report works in Monkwood
After a storm, it is useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We’re not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’ve noticed new damp or leaks inside and slipped or missing slates or tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings, ridges and hips and flat roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Monkwood, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Why act early in Monkwood
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is typically better. In a small place like Monkwood, 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: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- A written report with photos
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out

Storm damage roof reports around Monkwood
About 4.8 miles west lies Hinton Ampner House, a reminder of how long the area around Monkwood has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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.

Common questions in Monkwood
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Monkwood?
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 Monkwood?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Useful tips for Monkwood property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- File receipts for anything you pay for
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Common roof problems in Monkwood
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. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Water coming in after the storm
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Monkwood Mission Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
