Storm damage roof report in Shipton Bellinger
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. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. We survey slate and tile slopes, flashings and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are ridge tiles that have come loose and stains appearing after strong winds.
In a village or hamlet like Shipton Bellinger, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Storm damage roof reports in Shipton Bellinger: local notes
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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 streets around a church such as Church of St Peter are frequently 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. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shipton Bellinger Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

What else we do in Shipton Bellinger
DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails often fail first. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Shipton Bellinger can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us, tell us about the property and we will recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

What affects the price in Shipton Bellinger
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How big the roof is
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The address and postcode of the property
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Shipton Bellinger
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. 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.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Damaged pots on the stack
If you own a rental within reach of Grateley station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
What to check before booking
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Will the report include photos?
- Are they insured for the work?
Common questions in Shipton Bellinger
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Shipton Bellinger?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Shipton Bellinger?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Shipton Bellinger is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- How your policy defines a storm
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.
