Storm damage roof report in Milland: what you get

When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey ridges and hips, flashings and chimney stacks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and damaged ridges and hips.

Roofs in small places like Milland frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.

You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Tips that help

These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:

  • Check how your policy defines a storm
  • Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
  • Keep invoices for temporary repairs
  • Tell your insurer about the damage promptly

The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.

A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.

Milland: your questions answered

Do you cover smaller places like Milland?

Yes, Milland is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Do you cover Milland?

We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.

How long have you been surveying roofs?

We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.

What if the roof was already worn?

Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.

Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?

It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.

Do you test for asbestos?

No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.

Do you climb onto every roof?

Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Milland?

Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.

Common reasons to book include:

  • Lead lifted at abutments
  • Damaged ridges and hips
  • Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
  • Damaged pots on the stack

Take a building like Hollycombe Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

What to check before booking

  • Whether the price includes VAT
  • Their track record with similar roofs
  • Are they insured for the work?
  • Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?

What a good roof survey covers

Why get it checked now?

Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. Around Milland, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.

For a price for your roof in Milland, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Why book with us

Storm damage roof reports in Milland: local notes

A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Historic houses like Cowdray House, about 4.7 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Milland goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.

If you own a rental within reach of Liphook station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. For an older house near a landmark such as Tuxlith Chapel, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

What affects the price in Milland

What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:

  • If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
  • How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
  • Commercial roofs and larger buildings
  • The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium

Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

What to let us know when you contact us

There’s no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:

  • What kind of property and roof it is
  • Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
  • How the loft is reached, if there is one
  • Your postcode, so we can check access and travel

Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.

The survey, step by step

There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes an hour or two at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Milland can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.

  1. You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
  2. Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
  3. We view the roof from safe positions.
  4. Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
  5. You receive the written report with photographs.

Before the survey

  • Move anything stored under the loft hatch
  • Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
  • Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Getting a price

To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price before booking.

Checking the roof from ground level

If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
