Questions from Hartley Wespall
Do you cover Hartley Wespall?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you come out to Hartley Wespall?
Yes, Hartley Wespall is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
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.
How a storm damage roof report works in Hartley Wespall
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. Common reasons to book are water coming in after the storm and lead lifted at abutments, across gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
Somewhere as small as Hartley Wespall, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We look at everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Why get it checked now?
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. In a place like Hartley Wespall, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Read how roof surveys are priced and what we found on two real jobs.
Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Hartley Wespall
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. About 2.3 miles north lies Stratfield Saye House, a reminder of how long the area around Hartley Wespall has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Bramley (Hants) station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Anyone responsible for a site like Sherfield School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

What a survey costs
We confirm the exact price before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is
- What made you get in touch
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
For landlords and managing agents
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. For a village or hamlet like Hartley Wespall, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
