About our storm damage roof report in Stoke
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We’re often asked to look into holes or cracks caused by debris and damaged pots on the stack, on slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and flat roofs.
For a small place like Stoke, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Wind, rain and roofs in Stoke
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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you let a flat or house near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you look after a building like St Mary Bourne Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Stoke is about 5 miles north-east of Andover, in Hampshire. Anywhere in Stoke, we can carry out storm damage roof reports at your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Our Hampshire coverage includes Stoke. You can also see our page for Reading.

A little further out are Andover War Memorial Hospital (4.6 miles south-west) and Finkley Down Farm Museum (3.2 miles south-west). For a walk, there is Anton Lakes and Sidown Hill.
Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- A decision on your insurance claim
- Estimates of repair costs
- Negotiating a claim settlement

What this survey covers
- Gutters and fascias
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
- Ridges and hips
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Stoke, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Questions from Stoke
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stoke?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Stoke within the area you cover?
Yes. Stoke is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details as you book.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report does not include repair costs.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You’ll then get the report by email.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
