Independent storm damage roof reports in Rotherwick

Why get it checked now?

Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. For an older or listed building in a place like Rotherwick, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the exact price before booking.

About our storm damage roof report in Rotherwick

After a storm, it is useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gutters pulled loose in the wind and holes or cracks caused by debris.

For a small place like Rotherwick, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.

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 applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

When to book a survey in Rotherwick

Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.

Typical things we are asked to look at include:

  • Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
  • New damp or leaks inside
  • Roofs hit by falling trees
  • Damaged flat roof membrane

If you look after a building like Whitewater Church of England Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
  • Whether VAT is added on top
  • What the report includes, and whether it has photos
  • How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone

What a good roof survey covers

What you can safely check yourself

Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Rotherwick

We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.

Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.

The survey, step by step

The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Rotherwick, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.

  1. You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
  2. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
  3. We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
  4. The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
  5. You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.

Getting ready for the survey

  • Leave a clear route to the loft
  • Leave side gates unlocked
  • Keep pets in another room

Storm damage roof reports in Rotherwick: local notes

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 wider area around Rotherwick has a long history of building, with Stratfield Saye House about 3.2 miles north. 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.

If you let a flat or house near Hook station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. The streets around a church such as Rotherwick Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Common questions in Rotherwick

Do you cover smaller places like Rotherwick?

Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Is my home in Rotherwick listed or in a conservation area?

Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.

What wind speed counts as a storm?

It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.

Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?

We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?

Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.

Will you check the loft?

If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.

How are storm damage reports priced?

Our price is from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
