About our storm damage roof report in The Mint
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We survey gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flashings, and people most often book us about cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and stains appearing after strong winds.
Somewhere as small as The Mint, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. We look at what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Storm damage roof reports around The Mint
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Hope Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you own a rental within reach of Liss station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

FAQs for The Mint
Is The Mint in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in The Mint as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is The Mint within the area you cover?
Yes. The Mint is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That is not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about one to two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.

Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Check your policy for how to report damage
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Around The Mint, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets in another room
Arrange a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
Advice
Common roof problems in The Mint
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Take a building like Liss Junior School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
