Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in New Alresford
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. We’re often asked to look into damaged flat roof membrane and holes or cracks caused by debris, on flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips.
Older cottages and houses around New Alresford may have roofs with little or no underlay. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Whether it is long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are often the first clues.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in New Alresford
With Hinton Ampner House about 3 miles south, New Alresford sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Anyone responsible for a site like Sun Hill Junior School will know that a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.

New Alresford questions
Is New Alresford within the area you cover?
Yes, New Alresford is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you cover New Alresford?
Yes, New Alresford is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in New Alresford as anywhere else.
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.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
What if the roof was already worn?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What we cannot see
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- The outcome of a claim
- Areas we can’t see safely
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you before booking. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
What we are asked to look at in New Alresford
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Look out for signs like these:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- New damp or leaks inside
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Flat roof edges peeled back
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
What to check before booking
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What insurance they carry
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether VAT is added on top
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Which survey package you book
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The roof’s overall size
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The address and postcode of the property
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit usually takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Parking around New Alresford is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know about parking before the day
