How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. The report notes any damage to the stack.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Storm damage roof report in Leckford
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It’s a written report with photos, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you are worried about damaged pots on the stack and lead lifted at abutments, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Leckford makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Honest limits
A survey is a close look at the roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- Estimates of repair costs
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Gutters and fascias
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Ridges and hips
- Chimney stacks
Common roof problems in Leckford
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:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Damaged pots on the stack
Living close to Longstock Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Leckford: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Leckford?
Yes, Leckford is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Leckford?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Does this replace a RICS home 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, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.

Storm damage roof reports in Leckford: local notes
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Anyone responsible for a site like Test Valley School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, it normally takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Leckford, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Check we can get to the back of the property
