Storm damage roof report in Worting
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 aren’t loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’re worried about torn or lifted flat roof coverings and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older cottages and houses around Worting may have roofs with little or no underlay. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there is little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Finding where it gets in, and whether it is old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are often the first clue.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Worting, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The size of the roof
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
We’ll normally ask about:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- When you need the report by
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 drop us an email to find out.
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Storm damage roof reports around Worting
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. The wider area around Worting has a long history of building, with The Vyne about 3.7 miles north-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Thomas A Becket are frequently 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. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chiltern Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What happens after the report arrives
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Leave it or get it looked at?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it is safe. That keeps a record of how it looked. Blocked gutters on homes around Worting overflow and soak walls. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.

FAQs for Worting
How do I find out if my home in Worting is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Worting in the area you cover?
Yes, Worting is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
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. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details as you book.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we will record the rest.
