Storm damage roof report in Ramsdell
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We survey gutters and fascias, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and loose or torn flashings.
Many homes in small places like Ramsdell face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Storm damage roof reports around Ramsdell
The Vyne, about 2.9 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Ramsdell. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Christ Church, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Anyone responsible for a site like The Priory Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older roofs in small places like Ramsdell can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Check pets are kept safely away
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
How to book
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Advice
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Questions from Ramsdell
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Ramsdell?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Ramsdell in the area you cover?
Yes, Ramsdell is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. We photograph each gap.
Flat roof coverings
Branches and debris can damage flat roofs or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Ramsdell book surveys as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
When to book a survey in Ramsdell
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People usually call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Loose or torn flashings
Landlords with a home close to Bramley (Hants) station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Choosing a roof surveyor
