Storm damage roof report in Baughurst
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. The claim decision rests with your insurer. We survey gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and flashings, and people most often book us about stains appearing after strong winds and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind.
For a small place like Baughurst, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It is useful 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly normally means less damage overall. Older cottages and farmhouses around Baughurst can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.

Baughurst: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Baughurst?
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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Baughurst?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Baughurst?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes an hour or two for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Baughurst often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Photograph the damage safely from below
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Baughurst?
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Water coming in after the storm
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged pots on the stack
If you let a flat or house near Midgham station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Storm damage roof reports in Baughurst: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. The Vyne, about 4.6 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Baughurst. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Mary's Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Take a building like The Hurst School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
