Storm damage roof report in Hyde: what you get
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems like corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We survey slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and chimney stacks, and people most frequently book us about holes or cracks caused by debris and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind.
Houses in smaller places like Hyde can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that’s a useful clue. Tell us when it happens when you get in touch. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Hyde
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
What to tell us when you get in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- What made you get in touch
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price before you book.
Can I check my roof myself?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Storm damage roof reports around Hyde
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. If your home is older, it is 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.
If you let a flat or house near Winchester station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Take an older house close to St Bartholomew's Church: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Hyde means lost rooms as well as repairs.

What’s near Hyde

A little further out are Winchester Castle (0.6 miles south-west) and Royal Observer Corps Museum (0.5 miles north). For a walk, there is Winnall Moors and Twyford Down.
How it works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. A visit to Hyde is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
How to book
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. On a bungalow or cottage around Hyde, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

Common questions in Hyde
Do you cover smaller places like Hyde?
Yes, Hyde is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you cover Hyde?
Yes, Hyde is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Useful tips for Hyde property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Photograph the damage safely from below
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
