Storm damage roof report in Shedfield
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you are worried about torn or lifted flat roof coverings and broken or displaced guttering, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Shedfield, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Storm damage roof reports in Shedfield: local notes
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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 landlords with property near Botley station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. The streets around a church such as Church of St John are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Roof by roof

Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are frequently where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.
Shedfield questions
Do you cover Shedfield?
Yes, Shedfield is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is my home in Shedfield listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We’ll confirm the timing when you book.
How do I book a survey in Shedfield?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
What this survey cannot tell you
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- The outcome of a claim
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Gutters and fascias
- Flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as Shedfield, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Jot down any questions you want answered
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Shedfield
Letting agents and landlords in Shedfield book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer.
Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
