Liphook Storm Damage Roof Report
Storm damage roof reports in Liphook from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Lead lifted at abutments
What a survey costs
We confirm the price for your survey before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- House, block, shop or office
- Roof area
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The property’s address and postcode
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
How a storm damage roof report works in Liphook
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. If you’re worried about damaged ridges and hips and lead lifted at abutments, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Liphook can let water in, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Why get it checked now?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it is safe. That keeps a record of how it looked. Blocked gutters on homes around Liphook overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Liphook is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- 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.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Leave side gates unlocked

Storm damage roof reports around Liphook
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. 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.
For landlords with property near Liphook station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bohunt School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Liphook
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Water coming in after the storm
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
For an older house near a landmark like St Mary's Church Centre, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
