How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a small place like Tinkers Cross, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey

Advice
About our storm damage roof report in Tinkers Cross
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you’ve noticed loose or torn flashings and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Tinkers Cross, 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, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. We look at what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
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.

Tinkers Cross questions
Is Tinkers Cross in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Tinkers Cross is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Tinkers Cross is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report follows by email.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.

Leaks and storm damage in Tinkers Cross
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently 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. About 2.2 miles north lies Breamore House, a reminder of how long the area around Tinkers Cross has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as Fordingbridge Junior School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

What you can safely check yourself

Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
