Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Passfield
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We survey gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes, and people most frequently book us about damaged gutters and fascias and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Many homes in small places like Passfield face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Passfield
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Around Passfield, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Common roof problems in Passfield
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Lead lifted at abutments
If you look after a building such as Mill Chase Academy, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What experience they bring
What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Passfield
Is Passfield within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Passfield?
Yes, Passfield is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How do I book a survey in Passfield?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Passfield, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book

Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
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. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Storm damage roof reports in Passfield: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
If you own a rental within reach of Liphook station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
