Do you need a storm damage roof report in Durford Wood?
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
If you own a rental within reach of Liss station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
How a storm damage roof report works in Durford Wood
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We survey slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and flashings, and people most often book us about broken or displaced guttering and damaged pots on the stack.
Roofs in small places like Durford Wood frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Durford Wood
Is my home in Durford 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 Durford Wood within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when you book.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Will you check the loft?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Durford Wood roofs and the weather
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If you look after a building such as Liss Infant School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a small place like Durford Wood, 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. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

What happens if roof problems are left?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. That keeps a record of how it looked. Around Durford Wood, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
