Storm damage roof report in Wecock Farm
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. 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 we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you are worried about gutters pulled loose in the wind and holes or cracks caused by debris, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older cottages and houses around Wecock Farm may have roofs with little or no underlay. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Whether it is long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are frequently the first clue.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.

Wecock Farm: your questions answered
Is Wecock Farm within the area you cover?
Yes, Wecock Farm is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is the coastal weather around Wecock Farm hard on roofs?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Homes around Wecock Farm frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- 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
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Advice
What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, especially where the nails have corroded. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Chimney stacks
High winds can loosen pots, cowls and aerials on stacks. We record any damage we can see.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Wecock Farm
Wecock Farm is within about 4 miles of the coast. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. Warblington Castle, about 4.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wecock Farm. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Rowlands Castle station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Woodcroft Primary, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Take an older house close to The Hart Plain Church: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
