Storm damage roof report in Inhurst, Hampshire
An independent record of roof damage after a storm for Inhurst and the rest of Hampshire. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Storm damage roof report in Inhurst: what you get
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey slate and tile slopes, flashings and ridges and hips, and the problems we are asked to look at most are broken or displaced guttering and new damp or leaks inside.
Roofs in small places like Inhurst often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What we do, step by step
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around Inhurst can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Tell us about parking before the day

Inhurst questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Inhurst?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Inhurst?
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 survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
What we’re asked to look at in Inhurst
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photos.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Stains appearing after strong winds
For landlords with property near Midgham station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
What to check before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Their insurance cover
Storm damage roof reports in Inhurst: local notes
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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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.
If you look after a building such as The Hurst School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. 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.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is typically better. Outbuildings and barns around Inhurst are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
