About our storm damage roof report in Ludgershall
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. Common reasons to book are broken or displaced guttering and loose or torn flashings, across slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and flat roofs.
In older homes around places like Ludgershall, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there is little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Whether it is long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are frequently the first clue.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in.
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. Do not go up yourself.
For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
We confirm the price for your roof before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The roof’s overall size
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What’s prompted the survey
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Leaks and storm damage in Ludgershall
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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 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, so check with the council.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ludgershall Castle Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Ludgershall is about 7 miles north-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Ludgershall is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed. Ludgershall is one of the places in Hampshire we cover for storm damage roof reports. You can also see our page for Southampton.

Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
What we are asked to look at in Ludgershall
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Loose or torn flashings
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What they won’t be able to tell you
Common questions in Ludgershall
Do you cover Ludgershall?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is Ludgershall within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Ludgershall?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Ludgershall, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us where we can park nearby
