Hawkley Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Hawkley, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Water coming in after the storm
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
About our storm damage roof report in Hawkley
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flat roofs, and people most often book us about water coming in after the storm and holes or cracks caused by debris.
Being in a small place like Hawkley makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Hawkley
Several things affect the price of a survey:

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Hawkley?
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Water coming in after the storm
Landlords with a home close to Liss station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What the survey will not cover
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the price includes VAT
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
How the survey works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, it typically takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Hawkley often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Leaks and storm damage in Hawkley
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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Common questions in Hawkley
Do you cover smaller places like Hawkley?
Yes, Hawkley is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I find out if my home in Hawkley is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we cannot predict the outcome.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Hawkley
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
