Advice
How a storm damage roof report works in North Waltham
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you are worried about water coming in after the storm and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like North Waltham, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Wind, rain and roofs in North Waltham
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Anyone responsible for a site like North Waltham Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you let a flat or house near Micheldever station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. Michael's, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

FAQs for North Waltham
Do you cover North Waltham?
Yes, North Waltham is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in North Waltham listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There is no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
