About our storm damage roof report in Penton Mewsey
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We are frequently asked to look into damaged flat roof membrane and water coming in after the storm, across gutters and fascias, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes.
Being in a small place like Penton Mewsey makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Penton Mewsey
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant.
What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we frequently see cracked and slipped slates. Each area is photographed and described.
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
Common roof problems in Penton Mewsey
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.
Look out for signs like these:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- New damp or leaks inside
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
Take a building like Harrow Way Community School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
What to check before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Are they insured for the work?
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the price includes VAT
What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Penton Mewsey, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s 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.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

Storm damage roof reports around Penton Mewsey
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
The streets around a church like Holy Trinity Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Questions from Penton Mewsey
Is my home in Penton Mewsey listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Penton Mewsey?
Yes, Penton Mewsey is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That’s not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
