About our storm damage roof report in Kings Worthy
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. Common reasons to book are damaged ridges and hips and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, across flashings, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs.
For a small place like Kings Worthy, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It helps 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.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

What we’re asked to look at in Kings Worthy
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damaged ridges and hips
- New damp or leaks inside
- Roofs hit by falling trees
Take a building like Kings Worthy Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
What to check before booking
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. We record any damage and where it is.
What we can’t see
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- The outcome of a claim
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips

Kings Worthy: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Kings Worthy is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Kings Worthy?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Kings Worthy roofs and the weather
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. 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. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you own a rental within reach of Winchester station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photos. As for time on site, most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Kings Worthy, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.

Advice
Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
