Storm damage roof report in The Hangers: what you get
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. 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 survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are ridge tiles that have come loose and holes or cracks caused by debris.
Being in a small place like The Hangers makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in The Hangers
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damaged ridges and hips
Anyone responsible for a site like Bishops Waltham Infant School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
What to check before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What insurance they carry
Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Check your policy for how to report damage
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a hamlet or village like The Hangers, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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
- Keep pets in another room
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

What else we do in The Hangers
Leave it or get it looked at?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. In a small place like The Hangers, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Questions from The Hangers
Do you carry out roof surveys in The Hangers?
Yes, The Hangers is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How do I find out if my home in The Hangers is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details as you book.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
What we can’t see
A survey is a close look at the roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- A price for the repairs
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Gutters and fascias

Storm damage roof reports around The Hangers
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If you let a flat or house near Botley station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
