Storm damage roof report in Upton Grey, Hampshire
We carry out storm damage roof reports in Upton Grey and the rest of Hampshire. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Water coming in after the storm
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Upton Grey, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, 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.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Upton Grey
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’ve noticed slates and tiles blown off the roof and new damp or leaks inside, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Upton Grey, older roofs have frequently 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.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Upton Grey
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. For an older or listed building in a place like Upton Grey, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Tips that help

Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.

Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.

Leaks and storm damage in Upton Grey
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Landlords with a home close to Hook station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
