Storm damage roof report in Hurstbourne Tarrant
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey flat roofs, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes, and people most often book us about slipped or missing slates or tiles and flat roof edges peeled back.
In a village or hamlet like Hurstbourne Tarrant, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term 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 does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Hurstbourne Tarrant needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Advice
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Do not go up a ladder to look.
Why act early in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. Our report gives an honest view of both, so there are no surprises later. Outbuildings and barns around Hurstbourne Tarrant are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Leaks and storm damage in Hurstbourne Tarrant
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you let a flat or house near Andover station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Take a building like Hurstbourne Tarrant Church of England Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

What else we do in Hurstbourne Tarrant
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.
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.
Hurstbourne Tarrant: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Hurstbourne Tarrant?
Yes, Hurstbourne Tarrant is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Hurstbourne Tarrant is listed?
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.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The written report follows by email.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
When to book a survey in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
