What affects the price in Abbots Worthy
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Which survey package you book
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The roof’s overall size
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

What helps most when you contact us:
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage

- The property’s address and postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, tell us about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Storm damage roof report in Abbots Worthy
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey ridges and hips, chimney stacks and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are water coming in after the storm and roofs hit by falling trees.
For a small place like Abbots Worthy, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Abbots Worthy
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Water coming in after the storm
If you look after a building such as Kings Worthy Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Their insurance cover
- Is VAT included in the price?
Storm damage roof reports in Abbots Worthy: local notes
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you own a rental within reach of Winchester station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Questions from Abbots Worthy
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Abbots Worthy?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover Abbots Worthy?
Yes, Abbots Worthy is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Do not go up a ladder to look.

How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere like Abbots Worthy needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
