Storm damage roof report in Red Rice
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We’re not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’re worried about broken or displaced guttering and stains appearing after strong winds, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Many homes in small places like Red Rice 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 written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Wind, rain and roofs in Red Rice
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s 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. 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Anyone responsible for a site like Redrice School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

FAQs for Red Rice
Do you carry out roof surveys in Red Rice?
Yes, Red Rice is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Red Rice listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
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 is disturbed.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere like Red Rice needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.

Why it is worth a survey now in Red Rice
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it is safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. Outbuildings and barns around Red Rice are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

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:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
