About our storm damage roof report in Penton Corner
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you’ve noticed slipped or missing slates or tiles and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Penton Corner, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Penton Corner: your questions answered
Is Penton Corner within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Penton Corner?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you look in the loft space?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.

What happens on the day
Photos 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’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere like Penton Corner needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Advice
When to book a survey in Penton Corner
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Lead lifted at abutments
If you let a flat or house near Andover station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What the survey won’t cover
- Are they insured for the work?
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Penton Corner roofs and the weather
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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.
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Portway Junior School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
What happens if roof problems are left?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it is better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so you know what the roof shows. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Penton Corner, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
