How a storm damage roof report works in Wherwell Wood
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We’re not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and ridges and hips, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and slates and tiles blown off the roof.
For a small place like Wherwell Wood, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Wherwell Wood
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Wherwell Wood
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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Take a building like Wherwell Primary School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. For landlords with property near Andover station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
What we can’t see
It is useful to know what a survey won’t do before booking:
- A decision on your insurance claim

- A price for the repairs

What this survey covers
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
- Slate and tile slopes
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit usually takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a hamlet or village like Wherwell Wood, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. 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 is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Common questions in Wherwell Wood
Is my home in Wherwell Wood listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Wherwell Wood within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
