- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim

Storm damage roof report in Otterbourne
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It’s a written report with photos, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fallen branches or debris and loose or torn flashings.
Being in a small place like Otterbourne makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
Otterbourne roofs and the weather
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Otterbourne Church of England Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Take an older house close to Church of St Matthew: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you let a flat or house near Shawford station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:

- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in

Do you cover smaller places like Otterbourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Otterbourne?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.

What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere like Otterbourne needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Advice
Why it is worth a survey now in Otterbourne
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. For older village homes like those around Otterbourne, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
