Anmore questions
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Anmore?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
How do I find out if my home in Anmore is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from ground level or from windows. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we will record the rest.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Anmore
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. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. Common reasons to book are water coming in after the storm and roofs hit by falling trees, across flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks.
Somewhere as small as Anmore, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
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 photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What else we do in Anmore
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Useful tips for Anmore property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Check your policy for how to report damage
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It’s your record to use.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Acting quickly normally means less damage overall. For older village homes like those around Anmore, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Anmore can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Storm damage roof reports around Anmore
Anmore is within about 4 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can, and salt air slowly wears metal fixings. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you own a rental within reach of Bedhampton station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

What this survey cannot tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Estimates of repair costs
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Gutters and fascias
- Slate and tile slopes
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
Common roof problems in Anmore
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People typically call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- New damp or leaks inside
If you look after a building such as Denmead Infant School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Choosing a roof surveyor
