Storm damage roof report in Cliddesden
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey flat roofs, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are water coming in after the storm and damaged flat roof membrane.
Roofs in small places like Cliddesden often stand in the open, 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 works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
When you need someone else
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- The outcome of a claim
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer

Cliddesden roofs and the weather
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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The Vyne, about 4.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cliddesden. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like Cliddesden Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

What else we do in Cliddesden
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Cliddesden
Do you cover Cliddesden?
Yes, Cliddesden is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Cliddesden is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Common roof problems in Cliddesden
Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
Trees in and around Hackwood Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their report turnaround times
- What experience they bring
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Cottages and farmhouses around Cliddesden often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- 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.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it is safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. In a place like Cliddesden, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
