About our storm damage roof report in Pinewood Village
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We survey flat roofs, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are flat roof edges peeled back and stains appearing after strong winds.
Houses in smaller places like Pinewood Village can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. A leak that only appears in certain weather frequently points to an exposed detail. Tell us when it happens when you get in touch. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Pinewood Village, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- 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.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
How we price storm damage roof reports
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Roof area
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

Questions from Pinewood Village
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Pinewood Village?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Pinewood Village?
Yes, Pinewood Village is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Pinewood Village?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
When you need someone else
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and does not.

Pinewood Village roofs and the weather
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. 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. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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.
The streets around a church such as St Mark's Sacred Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you let a flat or house near Bentley (Hampshire) station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bordon Junior School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

What’s near Pinewood Village
We work in homes and buildings around Mill Chase Academy and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Bentley (Hampshire) station, roughly 4.1 miles north of the centre. A little further out are The Romany Museum (3.8 miles south-west) and Chase Community Hospital (1.1 miles south). The countryside around Pinewood Village includes Deadwater Valley and Selborne Hill.
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, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. We record any damage and where it is.
Clay and concrete tiles
Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. We record which are damaged and where.
