How a storm damage roof report works in Easton
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. 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 we give you is an independent record of the roof. We are frequently asked to look into flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and holes or cracks caused by debris, across gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
Being in a small place like Easton 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. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Other services in Easton
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Wind, rain and roofs in Easton
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you own a rental within reach of Winchester station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Anyone responsible for a site like Peter Symonds College will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Common questions in Easton
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Easton?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover Easton?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from the ground or from windows. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
What affects the price in Easton
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- House, block, shop or office
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Easton often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- 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
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about parking near the property
