How a storm damage roof report works in Warnford
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 are often asked to look into lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and slipped or missing slates or tiles, across flashings, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips.
For a small place like Warnford, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Tips from our surveys
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.
Other services in Warnford
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
Warnford: your questions answered
Is my home in Warnford listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Warnford?
Yes, Warnford is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
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.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.

Storm damage roof reports in Warnford: local notes
Hinton Ampner House, about 3.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Warnford. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
The streets around a church such as Church of Our Lady are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
