What affects the price in Westley
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Roof area
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Height and safe access
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

What helps most when you contact us:

About our storm damage roof report in Westley
Wear and tear is normally 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 give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flat roofs, and people most often book us about water coming in after the storm and loose or torn flashings.
Many homes in small places like Westley face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. We record which are damaged and where.
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift or pull away from walls and chimneys in strong winds. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Westley
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so you know what the roof shows. Outbuildings and barns around Westley are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Westley 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.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Leaks and storm damage in Westley
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you own a rental within reach of Winchester station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. The streets around a church like Church of St Stephen are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Westley questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Westley?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Westley is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Westley?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
There is no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from ground level or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we will record the rest.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.

Common roof problems in Westley
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Look out for signs like these:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Loose or torn flashings
- Stains appearing after strong winds
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sparsholt Church of England Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What insurance they carry
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
