Storm damage roof report in Newtown, Hampshire
We carry out storm damage roof reports in Newtown and the rest of Hampshire. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damaged ridges and hips
How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Rural addresses near Newtown can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Advice
Storm damage roof report in Newtown: what you get
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a report with photos, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you are worried about damage from fallen branches or debris and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs alike.
Being in a small place like Newtown makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
Clay and concrete tiles
Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. We record which are damaged and where.
Newtown roofs and the weather
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Newtown, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Trinity: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you let a flat or house near Portchester station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

What we are asked to look at in Newtown
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Problems we come across often include:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
Anyone responsible for a site like Newtown Soberton Infant School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

FAQs for Newtown
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Newtown, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Newtown?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Do you cover Newtown?
Yes. We carry out storm damage roof reports in Newtown.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is typically better. Older cottages and farmhouses around Newtown can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
