Storm damage roof report in Penton Grafton: what you get
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Common reasons to book are flat roof edges peeled back and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, on flashings, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes.
Many homes in small places like Penton Grafton face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Wind, rain and roofs in Penton Grafton
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Harrow Way Community 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. If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

What else we do in Penton Grafton
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Penton Grafton?
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Are they insured for the work?
Surveys for landlords and agents in Penton Grafton
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: 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. The visit typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Penton Grafton 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.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Arrange a survey
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Advice
Penton Grafton: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Penton Grafton?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Penton Grafton?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Penton Grafton as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
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 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.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- House, block, shop or office
- The roof’s overall size
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What made you get in touch
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
We confirm the price for your roof before booking, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
