Liss Forest Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm for Liss Forest, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Water coming in after the storm
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Liss Forest can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What you get with us
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Customer satisfaction of 98%

Storm damage roof report in Liss Forest
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. Common reasons to book are flat roof edges peeled back and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, across flashings, chimney stacks and flat roofs.
Many homes in small places like Liss Forest face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. 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.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. We photograph each gap.
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Storm damage roof reports in Liss Forest: local notes
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For an older house near a landmark like St Saviour's, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you look after a building such as Liss Infant School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.

When to book a survey in Liss Forest
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- New damp or leaks inside
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
For landlords with property near Liss station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Advice
Common questions in Liss Forest
Will you come out to Liss Forest?
Yes, Liss Forest is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Liss Forest?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How do I book a survey in Liss Forest?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
