Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Stockbridge
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. You get a report with photographs to give to your insurer. If you’ve noticed gaps where slates or tiles have gone and roofs hit by falling trees, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and flashings alike.
In a village or hamlet like Stockbridge, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check whatever is safely visible 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. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.

Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Anyone responsible for a site like Stockbridge Primary & Pre-School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Stockbridge, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it pays to find faults before guests do. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How big the roof is
Every price we give includes VAT. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before you book.
Getting in touch

- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The address and postcode of the property

The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes about one to two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Stockbridge can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.

Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stockbridge can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

Stockbridge questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stockbridge?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Stockbridge within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you look in the roof space?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from the ground first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Do you test for asbestos?
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.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
