Storm damage roof report in Sarisbury Green: what you get
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. Typical surveys look at broken or displaced guttering and slipped or missing slates or tiles, on slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and ridges and hips.
Houses in smaller places like Sarisbury Green can stand more in the open, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather frequently points to an exposed detail. It helps to know when and where the water appears. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Advice
Wind, rain and roofs in Sarisbury Green
Sarisbury Green is within about 2 miles of the coast. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies, and the insurer decides the claim. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Paul are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Homes near green spaces such as Hamble Common can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Sarisbury Green is about 1 mile west of Locks Heath, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Sarisbury Green, the roof can be surveyed. Sarisbury Green is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We also survey roofs in Southampton.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Common roof problems in Sarisbury Green
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. 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.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sarisbury Infant School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Sarisbury Green
How do I find out if my home in Sarisbury Green is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Sarisbury Green?
Yes. Sarisbury Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We aren’t 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.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we cannot predict the outcome.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when you book.

Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
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. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
