Storm damage roof report in Up Nately
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you’ve noticed damage from fallen branches or debris and ridge tiles that have come loose, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings, flat roofs and ridges and hips alike.
Being in a small place like Up Nately makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Up Nately roofs and the weather
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. 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.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St. Stephen, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you look after a building like Robert May's School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Up Nately is about 5 miles east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire.

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
If you’re unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Up Nately
Landlords, agents and building managers in Up Nately and across Hampshire can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Up Nately, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

When to book a survey in Up Nately
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. What happens next is up to the insurer.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
If you own a rental within reach of Hook station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- What happens after the report arrives
- How soon the report will arrive
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- House, block, shop or office
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Up Nately: your questions answered

Yes, Up Nately is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How many surveys have you done?

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 when booking.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from the ground or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we’ll record the rest.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we cannot predict the outcome.
