Why act early in West Liss
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is normally better. Outbuildings and barns around West Liss are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

About our storm damage roof report in West Liss
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you’ve noticed stains appearing after strong winds and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and flashings alike.
Being in a small place like West Liss makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Storm damage roof reports around West Liss
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. 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.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Landlords with a home close to Liss station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in West Liss?
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Water coming in after the storm
- Roofs hit by falling trees
Take a building like Liss Infant School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Are they insured for the work?
For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like West Liss can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.

Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
