Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Wherwell
After a storm, it is useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We survey flashings, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are torn or lifted flat roof coverings and slates and tiles blown off the roof.
Somewhere as small as Wherwell, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- 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.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
When to book a survey in Wherwell
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Water coming in after the storm
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
Homes near green spaces like Longstock Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Before booking anyone
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- When you’ll get the report
- Are they insured for the work?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Wherwell, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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 photos.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Wherwell
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you let a flat or house near Andover station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter and Holy Cross are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Questions from Wherwell
Is Wherwell in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Wherwell listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The written report follows by email.
What affects the price in Wherwell
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The roof’s overall size
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Getting in touch

- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
