Storm damage roof report in Thruxton: what you get

When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We’re not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’re worried about ridge tiles that have come loose and holes or cracks caused by debris, we can find out what’s behind it.

Many homes in small places like Thruxton face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.

Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Common roof problems in Thruxton

A storm frequently finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.

A survey can pick up problems like:

  • Slipped or missing slates or tiles
  • Damaged gutters and fascias
  • Stains appearing after strong winds
  • Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls

For site and facilities teams at buildings like Amport 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.

Before you book any roof surveyor

  • Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
  • How they plan to inspect the roof safely
  • What follow-up you get after the report
  • Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?

What’s in a roof survey

What affects the price in Thruxton

Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:

  • If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
  • Commercial roofs and larger buildings
  • The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
  • The shape of the roof and its details

Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Getting in touch

The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:

  • Anything about access we should know
  • Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
  • Any deadline, such as an exchange date
  • The style of property, from a terrace to a block

Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.

FAQs for Thruxton

Will you come out to Thruxton?

Yes, Thruxton is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.

Does a conservation area affect roof work in Thruxton?

We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.

What do I do if water is coming in?

Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.

Can you inspect my roof with a drone?

Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.

How long will you be at the property?

Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report is sent afterwards by email.

How do I book a survey in Thruxton?

The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Will you walk on the roof?

Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.

Before and after the survey

Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:

  • Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
  • Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
  • Keep receipts for any emergency work
  • Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing

If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.

Wind, rain and roofs in Thruxton

Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.

Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you let a flat or house near Grateley station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

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. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Thruxton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.

  1. We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
  2. Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
  3. We view the roof from safe positions.
  4. Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
  5. The report, with photos, is emailed to you.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets in another room
  • Let us know where we can park nearby
  • Note where any stains or damp appear

Related advice

Should I look at the roof myself first?

Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.

Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
