Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Smannell
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. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. Typical surveys look at loose or torn flashings and gutters pulled loose in the wind, across chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and flat roofs.
Being in a small place like Smannell makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Useful tips for Smannell property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Photograph damage inside the house too
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
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.
How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Smannell, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Advice
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Honest limits
A survey is a careful look at the roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Smannell?
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Water coming in after the storm
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
Take an older house close to Christ Church: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What insurance they carry
- What they will not be able to tell you
Storm damage roof reports around Smannell
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Take a building like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Smannell is about 2 miles north-east of Andover, in Hampshire.

How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.

We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
