About our storm damage roof report in Micheldever
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you’ve noticed roofs hit by falling trees and damaged pots on the stack, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Micheldever, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We look at everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Water coming in after the storm
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Damaged ridges and hips
If you own a rental within reach of Micheldever station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

Why it is worth a survey now in Micheldever
It is useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Older cottages and farmhouses around Micheldever can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for your roof before booking.

FAQs for Micheldever
Do you carry out roof surveys in Micheldever?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Is my home in Micheldever listed or in a conservation area?
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.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report follows by email.
The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there.

Storm damage roof reports around Micheldever
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. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Anyone responsible for a site like Micheldever CofE Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
