How a storm damage roof report works in Hursley
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you are worried about water coming in after the storm and gutters pulled loose in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Hursley, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Hursley?
A storm frequently finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- New damp or leaks inside
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
Landlords with a home close to Shawford station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What experience they bring
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
Leaks and storm damage in Hursley
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Anyone responsible for a site like John Keble Church of England Primary School 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 survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Hursley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Useful tips for Hursley property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Check your policy for how to report damage
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. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Hursley
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Hursley, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

Questions from Hursley
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hursley?
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.
Is Hursley within the area you cover?
Yes. Hursley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it is clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Hursley?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
