Storm damage roof report in North Street, Hampshire
An independent record of roof damage after a storm across North Street, using drones and thermal imaging where applicable. Call or email for a price.

Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Storm damage roof report in North Street: what you get
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey flashings, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damage from fallen branches or debris and damaged gutters and fascias.
Roofs in small places like North Street often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
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, whichever applies.

- Estimates of repair costs
- Negotiating a claim settlement
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.

- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes an hour or two for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere as small as North Street, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Why it’s worth a survey now in North Street
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly normally means less damage overall. For older village homes like those around North Street, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
If you’re unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Questions from North Street
How do I find out if my home in North Street is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.

How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.

Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.

Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Leaks and storm damage in North Street
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. With Bentworth Hall about 3.9 miles north, North Street sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in North Street
Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
Take a building like Ropley Church of England Primary School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
What to check before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What exactly goes into their report
