Storm damage roof report in Upper Enham
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We survey slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind.
Somewhere as small as Upper Enham, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, particularly where the nails have corroded. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Useful tips for Upper Enham property owners
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
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.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
Honest limits
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- The outcome of a claim
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Upper Enham, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Why it is worth a survey now in Upper Enham
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. Outbuildings and barns around Upper Enham are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Upper Enham questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Upper Enham?
Yes, Upper Enham is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Upper Enham as anywhere else.
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Enham?
Yes, Upper Enham is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Wind, rain and roofs in Upper Enham
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. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Anyone responsible for a site like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Take an older house close to Saint George: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. For landlords with property near Andover station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
