Storm damage roof report in Romsey, Hampshire
Storm damage roof reports across Romsey, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Storm damage roof report in Romsey
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ridge tiles that have come loose and damaged pots on the stack.
Extensions, dormers and conservatories are common on houses in towns like Romsey, and where an extension meets the house is a common leak point. Flashings, upstands and the edges of flat roofs are checked alongside the main roof, inside and out. The stain inside is often some way from where water gets in, especially around extensions.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What else we do in Romsey
Why get it checked now?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. That keeps a record of how it looked. On a house in a town like Romsey, wet loft insulation stops working and can stay damp for a long time. That adds to the bill long before the leak is obvious.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details. We will confirm the figure before booking.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Romsey
How do I find out if my home in Romsey is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Romsey in the area you cover?
Yes, Romsey is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
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 I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Photograph the damage safely from below
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a visit in Romsey, we need access to the loft, any rooms with leaks or stains, and the outside of the building. Mention gates, side passages and anything at the back. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Book a survey
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Romsey
Mottisfont Abbey, about 4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Romsey. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For an older house near a landmark like St Swithun's Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Romsey, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use. Take a building like Romsey Primary School: a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
