Why act early in Itchen Abbas
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Itchen Abbas can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for the job before booking.

Storm damage roof report in Itchen Abbas
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. If you’ve noticed flat roof edges peeled back and water coming in after the storm, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Itchen Abbas makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Itchen Abbas roofs and the weather
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If you own a rental within reach of Winchester station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Take a building like Itchen Abbas Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. The streets around a church like Church of St John the Baptist are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Itchen Abbas, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Stay off the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.

A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
