Standford Storm Damage Roof Report

Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. We photograph each gap.
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, especially where the nails have corroded. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Standford
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems like corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey flashings, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias, and the problems we are asked to look at most are loose or torn flashings and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind.
Roofs in small places like Standford often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like Standford can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Booking a survey
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.
Advice
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Standford?
Branches and trees frequently come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photos.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged ridges and hips
If you live in an older home near St Mark's Sacred Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What exactly goes into their report
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Wind, rain and roofs in Standford
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
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. Take a building like Weyford Nursery and Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

FAQs for Standford
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Standford?
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.
Do you cover Standford?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Standford as anywhere else.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we cannot predict the outcome.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It does not include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Checking the roof from the ground
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
