Storm damage roof report in Headbourne Worthy: what you get
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. Typical surveys look at cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and roofs hit by falling trees, across gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flashings.
Somewhere as small as Headbourne Worthy, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a hamlet or village like Headbourne Worthy, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.

When to book a survey in Headbourne Worthy
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- When you will get the report
- Whether VAT is added on top
For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
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, which helps when budgeting.
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Anything about access we should know

What happens if roof problems are left?
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, alongside any photos you took yourself. In a place like Headbourne Worthy, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What you get with us
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Clear package prices, including VAT

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Check how your policy defines a storm
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
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.
FAQs for Headbourne Worthy
Is Headbourne Worthy within the area you cover?
Yes, Headbourne Worthy is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Headbourne Worthy?
Yes, Headbourne Worthy is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Headbourne Worthy as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
What if the roof was already worn?
Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Storm damage roof reports around Headbourne Worthy
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you look after a building like Kings Worthy Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. For landlords with property near Winchester station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
