Storm damage roof report in Upper Wield
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’ve noticed flat roof edges peeled back and damaged gutters and fascias, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Wield, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Checking the roof from the ground
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. Our report gives an honest view of both, so you know what the roof shows. Around Upper Wield, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
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. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Wind, rain and roofs in Upper Wield
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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Historic houses such as Hall Place, about 2.2 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Upper Wield goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church like Church of St James are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level, and we’ll record the rest.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
