Useful tips for Trotton Marsh property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of each area of damage. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
About our storm damage roof report in Trotton Marsh
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. If you’ve noticed loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and new damp or leaks inside, we can find out what’s behind it, on slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and chimney stacks alike.
Somewhere as small as Trotton Marsh, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey usually takes an hour or two for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Trotton Marsh can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets in another room

Storm damage roof reports in Trotton Marsh: local notes
Cowdray House, about 4.2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Trotton Marsh. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Trotton Marsh
Is Trotton Marsh in the area you cover?
Yes, Trotton Marsh is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Trotton Marsh?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
