Storm damage roof report in Nob's Crook
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey chimney stacks, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are roofs hit by falling trees and broken or displaced guttering.
Somewhere as small as Nob's Crook, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
When you need someone else
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Estimates of repair costs
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.

What affects the price in Nob's Crook
To price your survey, we check:
- Height and safe access
- Roof area
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.

Common questions in Nob's Crook
Do you cover Nob's Crook?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is Nob's Crook within the area you cover?
Yes, Nob's Crook is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Nob's Crook
South Stoneham House, about 4.6 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Nob's Crook. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Take a building like Colden Common Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. For landlords with property near Eastleigh station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Nob's Crook, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
