Do you need a storm damage roof report in Over Wallop?
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- New damp or leaks inside
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Loose or torn flashings
Take a building like Wallop Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Storm damage roof report in Over Wallop: what you get
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. 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. If you’ve noticed damaged flat roof membrane and new damp or leaks inside, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Over Wallop, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Checking the roof from ground level
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
A survey is a close look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Repair costs or quotes for the work

What happens on the day
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older rural homes like those around Over Wallop 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.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Common questions in Over Wallop
Is Over Wallop in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Over Wallop is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
How do I find out if my home in Over Wallop is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Storm damage roof reports around Over Wallop
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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
Landlords with a home close to Grateley station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

What happens if roof problems are left?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. For an older or listed building in a place like Over Wallop, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
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 safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
