Whitsbury roofs and the weather
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The wider area around Whitsbury has a long history of building, with Breamore House about 1.6 miles east. 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 Leonard are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Anyone responsible for a site like Western Downland Church of England Aided Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Storm damage roof report in Whitsbury: what you get
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We survey flat roofs, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias, and people most frequently book us about water coming in after the storm and broken or displaced guttering.
Many homes in small places like Whitsbury 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 is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Acting quickly typically means less damage overall. Outbuildings and barns around Whitsbury are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Whitsbury
Will you come out to Whitsbury?
Yes, Whitsbury is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Whitsbury?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Whitsbury is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.

What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like Whitsbury, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Let us know about parking near the property
