Heath End questions
Is my home in Heath End listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Heath End within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. 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?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
About our storm damage roof report in Heath End
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It does not price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Typical surveys look at damaged flat roof membrane and ridge tiles that have come loose, across gutters and fascias, flashings and slate and tile slopes.
Somewhere as small as Heath End, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a hamlet or village like Heath End, 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.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
Useful tips for Heath End property owners
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Storm damage roof reports in Heath End: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
Take an older house close to Saint Mary's Church: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Anyone responsible for a site like The Hurst School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. For landlords with property near Midgham station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Around Heath End
In Heath End, that means homes and buildings near Burnham Copse Primary School. For rail, the closest station is Midgham station, roughly 2.6 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Calleva Museum (3.2 miles east) and Park Prewett Hospital (5.9 miles south-east).
Why get it checked now?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. For older village homes like those around Heath End, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
