Storm damage roof report in Shootash
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey slate and tile slopes, flashings and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are slates and tiles blown off the roof and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls.
In a village or hamlet like Shootash, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to.

What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Shootash can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Related advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly normally means less damage overall. For an older or listed building in a place like Shootash, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Shootash: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Shootash?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Shootash?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Shootash is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect what can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
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.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Shootash
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Photograph damage inside the house too
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
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.
Shootash roofs and the weather
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Historic houses like Mottisfont Abbey, about 3 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Shootash goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Romsey station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
