How a storm damage roof report works in Stonymarsh
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We don’t decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We survey chimney stacks, flashings and flat roofs, and people most often book us about damaged ridges and hips and lead lifted at abutments.
Being in a small place like Stonymarsh makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes about one to two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near Stonymarsh 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 tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
How we price storm damage roof reports
We confirm the exact price before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Height and safe access
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- What’s prompted the survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
Leaks and storm damage in Stonymarsh
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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Mottisfont Abbey, about 0.5 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stonymarsh. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Stonymarsh: your questions answered
Do you cover Stonymarsh?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is my home in Stonymarsh listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a 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.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Roof by roof
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
