Storm damage roof report in Hill Brow
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. If you’ve noticed damaged flat roof membrane and gutters pulled loose in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Hill Brow, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Questions from Hill Brow
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hill Brow?
Yes, Hill Brow is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Hill Brow as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Hill Brow?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How do I book a survey in Hill Brow?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Hill Brow, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

What this survey can’t tell you
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you before you book. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
- Slate and tile slopes
Leave it or get it looked at?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Older and listed buildings around Hill Brow may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Why book with us
- Surveys on any day of the week
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

Wind, rain and roofs in Hill Brow
Older buildings may be listed or sit 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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you look after a building like Liss Junior School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Take an older house close to Rake Mission Church: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Landlords with a home close to Liss station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
