Storm damage roof report in Tidworth, Hampshire
Not sure what state the roof is in? You can book a storm damage roof report in Tidworth and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos. On timing, it usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a smaller place like Tidworth, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Keep pets in another room
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Advice
Storm damage roof report in Tidworth
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We survey flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips, and the problems we are asked to look at most are roofs hit by falling trees and slipped or missing slates or tiles.
Houses in smaller places like Tidworth can stand more in the open, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather frequently points to an exposed detail. It helps to know when and where the water appears. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Common questions in Tidworth
Will you come out to Tidworth?
Yes, Tidworth is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Tidworth is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when booking.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Tidworth?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Useful tips for Tidworth property owners
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It’s your record to use.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
What we are asked to look at in Tidworth
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
If you look after a building such as The Wellington Academy, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Tidworth
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Height and safe access
- How big the roof is
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- House, block, shop or office
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- When you need the report by
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Leaks and storm damage in Tidworth
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. 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.
The streets around a church such as Church of the Holy Trinity are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
