How a storm damage roof report works in Wintershill
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a written report with photos, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Typical surveys look at loose or torn flashings and holes or cracks caused by debris, across ridges and hips, chimney stacks and flashings.
For a small place like Wintershill, 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. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Leave it or get it looked at?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. That keeps a record of how it looked. In a small place like Wintershill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book with us
- Satisfaction rate of 98%

Storm damage roof reports in Wintershill: local notes
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s 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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For landlords with property near Hedge End station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Wintershill, access is normally 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.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

What else we do in Wintershill
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
When to book a survey in Wintershill
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.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Loose or torn flashings
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
If you look after a building such as Wyvern Technology College, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Wintershill
Is my home in Wintershill listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Wintershill in the area you cover?
Yes, Wintershill is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from the ground first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
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.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. We photograph each gap.
