Questions from Sparsholt
Do you cover smaller places like Sparsholt?
Yes, Sparsholt is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is Sparsholt in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Sparsholt is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when you book.
About our storm damage roof report in Sparsholt
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged gutters and fascias and roofs hit by falling trees.
Many homes in small places like Sparsholt face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What else we do in Sparsholt
What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older rural homes like those around Sparsholt can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Storm damage roof reports around Sparsholt
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Landlords with a home close to Winchester station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. Anyone responsible for a site like Sparsholt Church of England Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. We record which are damaged and where.
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
