Storm damage roof report in Sandleheath
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. We survey chimney stacks, ridges and hips and flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about loose or torn flashings and flat roof edges peeled back.
For a small place like Sandleheath, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Leaks and storm damage in Sandleheath
About 3.1 miles north-east lies Breamore House, a reminder of how long the area around Sandleheath has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Sandleheath Uniting Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Sandleheath
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Do not go up a ladder to look.
Common questions in Sandleheath
Is Sandleheath in the area you cover?
Yes, Sandleheath is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Sandleheath within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.

Why get it checked now?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Why book with us
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Photos and a written report every time
- Surveys seven days a week
Take a look at how roof surveys are priced and what we found on two real jobs.
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- House, block, shop or office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
- What’s prompted the survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report. As for time on site, it normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like Sandleheath, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- 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.
