About our storm damage roof report in Picket Piece
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, like 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. We survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are roofs hit by falling trees and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
Around Picket Piece, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What we are asked to look at in Picket Piece
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
For landlords with property near Andover station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Storm damage roof reports around Picket Piece
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you look after a building like Pilgrims' Cross CofE Aided Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

What happens on the day
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 about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Homes around Picket Piece often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Picket Piece: your questions answered
What do I need to do before a survey in Picket Piece?
It helps to clear access to the loft, and to let us know about leaks, damp patches or recent work. Let us know about parking and access in Picket Piece too.
Is Picket Piece within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.
How long does the survey take?
It normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report follows by email.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do you look in the loft space?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
