Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Northington
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a written report with photographs, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and flashings, and people most frequently book us about torn or lifted flat roof coverings and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
Roofs in small places like Northington often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Northington
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like Northington, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
Booking a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Storm damage roof reports in Northington: local notes
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Evangelist, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you let a flat or house near Micheldever station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.
Northington is about 7 miles north-east of Hyde, in Hampshire. We carry out storm damage roof reports in Northington for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings, with a written report and photographs every time. Northington is one of the places in Hampshire we cover for storm damage roof reports. Our Southampton page covers surveys nearby.

How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Why act early in Northington
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. For older village homes like those around Northington, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Northington
How do I find out if my home in Northington is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Northington in the area you cover?
Yes, Northington is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report follows by email.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
