Do you need a storm damage roof report in Walhampton?
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Flat roof edges peeled back
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near United Reform Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the survey will not cover
- What exactly goes into their report
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Storm damage roof report in Walhampton
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you are worried about cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and new damp or leaks inside, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and flashings alike.
For a small place like Walhampton, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Storm damage roof reports around Walhampton
Walhampton lies within about 1 mile of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For hotels and guest houses around Walhampton, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition. Anyone responsible for a site like Lymington Church of England Infant School will know that a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Walhampton, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Questions from Walhampton
Is my home in Walhampton listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Walhampton within the area you cover?
Yes. Walhampton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. We will confirm the timing when booking.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report does not include repair costs.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Walhampton?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Why act early in Walhampton
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it is better to know. We record storm damage and older defects, so there are no surprises later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Walhampton can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
