About our storm damage roof report in Hartley Wintney
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey ridges and hips, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and holes or cracks caused by debris.
Around Hartley Wintney, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

What we are asked to look at in Hartley Wintney
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Lead lifted at abutments
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Hart Shopping Centre, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.
Questions to ask before you book
- What experience they bring
- Is VAT included in the price?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Honest limits
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- A price for the repairs
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Hartley Wintney
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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.
Take an older house close to St John's Church: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you let a flat or house near Winchfield station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

Hartley Wintney questions
Is my home in Hartley Wintney listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Hartley Wintney within the area you cover?
Yes. Hartley Wintney is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
How many surveys have you done?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
The survey, step by step
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a survey in Hartley Wintney, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
