Storm damage roof report in Rogate
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are often asked to look into damaged pots on the stack and damaged ridges and hips, across slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and flashings.
Somewhere as small as Rogate, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

How the survey works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as Rogate, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including 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 photographs for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
Practical tips
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.

- Ridges and hips
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
When to book a survey in Rogate
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- New damp or leaks inside
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Roofs hit by falling trees
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Are they insured for the work?
- When you will get the report
- What follow-up you get after the report
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Rogate
To price your survey, we check:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it’s useful to mention:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Anything about access we should know
- The property’s address and postcode
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Wind, rain and roofs in Rogate
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. The wider area around Rogate has a long history of building, with Uppark about 4.1 miles south-west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Liss station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Take a building like Rogate CofE Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs

Lead flashings
Wind can peel back flashings at abutments and stacks. We record which are loose or damaged.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Rogate
Is Rogate in the area you cover?
Yes, Rogate is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Is my home in Rogate listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We are not loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access as you book.
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.
