Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in West Meon
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey flashings, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are new damp or leaks inside and slipped or missing slates or tiles.
Roofs in small places like West Meon frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

West Meon roofs and the weather
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. About 3.4 miles north-west lies Hinton Ampner House, a reminder of how long the area around West Meon has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
West Meon is about 7 miles west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. In West Meon, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. West Meon is one of the places in Hampshire where we work. Portsmouth is in our area too.

Common questions in West Meon
Is my home in West Meon listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is West Meon in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in West Meon as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
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.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we cannot predict the outcome.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in West Meon?
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
Problems we come across often include:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Evangelist: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What happens after the report arrives
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like West Meon, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
