Questions from East Wellow
Is East Wellow in the area you cover?
Yes, East Wellow is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in East Wellow?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in East Wellow?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we can’t predict the outcome.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
How a storm damage roof report works in East Wellow
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. You get a photo-illustrated written report to give to your insurer. If you are worried about gaps where slates or tiles have gone and stains appearing after strong winds, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flat roofs alike.
Being in a small place like East Wellow makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

When to book a survey in East Wellow
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Loose or torn flashings
If you own a rental within reach of Romsey station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Their insurance cover
- Their report turnaround times
DIY checks: what’s safe
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Wind, rain and roofs in East Wellow
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Historic houses such as Landford Manor, about 2.8 miles west, show how far back building in the area around East Wellow goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you look after a building like Wellow School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
