About our storm damage roof report in Little Hoddington
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We are frequently asked to look into flat roof edges peeled back and loose or torn flashings, on gutters and fascias, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips.
Somewhere as small as Little Hoddington, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We look at everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Checking the roof from the ground
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Why it is worth a survey now in Little Hoddington
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it’s safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. Around Little Hoddington, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Little Hoddington
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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Hook station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Little Hoddington questions
Will you come out to Little Hoddington?
Yes, Little Hoddington is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Little Hoddington listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere like Little Hoddington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- 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 you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Booking a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
