Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Springvale
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey ridges and hips, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and slipped or missing slates or tiles.
Older cottages and houses around Springvale may have roofs with little or no underlay. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there’s little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Whether it is long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are frequently the first clues.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Photograph the damage safely from below
If you are 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.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.

What else we do in Springvale
Leaks and storm damage in Springvale
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is 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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church Hall, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you own a rental within reach of Winchester station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Springvale is about 3 miles north of Winchester, in Hampshire. We survey roofs in Springvale and the rest of Hampshire. Across Hampshire, we cover Springvale and the places around it. For surveys nearby, see our Southampton page.

When to book a survey in Springvale
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- New damp or leaks inside
If you look after a building such as Kings Worthy Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
What to check before booking
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether you get a written report with photos
The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Springvale is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Why act early in Springvale
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. On a bungalow or cottage around Springvale, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Springvale: your questions answered
Is Springvale within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Springvale is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect what can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access as you book.
What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
