Storm Damage Roof Report in North Stoneham

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, particularly where the nails have corroded. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
How a storm damage roof report works in North Stoneham
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey ridges and hips, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and people most often book us about loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and water coming in after the storm.
In a village or hamlet like North Stoneham, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We look at what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.
What this survey can’t tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- A price for the repairs
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim

Roof types and parts we check
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in North Stoneham
The coast is about 5 miles or less from North Stoneham, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. What counts as a storm is set by each policy, frequently gusts of around 55 mph, and the insurer makes the decision. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If you look after a building like Nightingale Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you run a business near Marlands Shopping Centre, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

Questions from North Stoneham
Does being near the coast affect roofs in North Stoneham?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details like ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
Is my home in North Stoneham listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you work in North Stoneham?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, North Stoneham included.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
The survey, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around North Stoneham can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- 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 photographs.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

When to book a survey in North Stoneham
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. 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.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Damaged ridges and hips
South Stoneham House lies about 1.3 miles south, so building around North Stoneham goes back a long way. On older roofs nearby, leaks frequently trace back to lead flashings, valleys and gutters.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What follow-up you get after the report
