How a storm damage roof report works in Sherfield on Loddon
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It is yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey flat roofs, flashings and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are broken or displaced guttering and damaged pots on the stack.
Being in a small place like Sherfield on Loddon makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: 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. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Wind, rain and roofs in Sherfield on Loddon
Historic houses like Stratfield Saye House, about 2.6 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Sherfield on Loddon goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, 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. 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.
Take a building like Sherfield School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Landlords with a home close to Bramley (Hants) station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Questions from Sherfield on Loddon
Is Sherfield on Loddon in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Sherfield on Loddon as anywhere else.
How do I find out if my home in Sherfield on Loddon is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Complain to your insurer first. 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.
Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. We record any damage and where it is.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
When to book a survey in Sherfield on Loddon
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damaged ridges and hips
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. Leonard, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Sherfield on Loddon, access is normally the main thing to plan. 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.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
