Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Hurstbourne Priors
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey ridges and hips, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are roofs hit by falling trees and new damp or leaks inside.
Being in a small place like Hurstbourne Priors makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Wind, rain and roofs in Hurstbourne Priors
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Andrew, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you look after a building such as Testbourne Community School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

The survey, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a hamlet or village like Hurstbourne Priors, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets in another room
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Common questions in Hurstbourne Priors
Is Hurstbourne Priors in the area you cover?
Yes, Hurstbourne Priors is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Hurstbourne Priors within the area you cover?
Yes, Hurstbourne Priors is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Hurstbourne Priors
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- New damp or leaks inside
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
If you own a rental within reach of Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Are they insured for the work?
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. Damage is photographed and described.
