Storm damage roof report in Blackmoor
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and flashings, and people most often book us about gaps where slates or tiles have gone and damage from fallen branches or debris.
For a small place like Blackmoor, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Flat roof coverings

Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. Each area is photographed and described.
Wind, rain and roofs in Blackmoor
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you let a flat or house near Liss station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Anyone responsible for a site like St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. The streets around a church such as St Matthew's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Blackmoor
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Landlords and letting agents in Blackmoor book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Blackmoor can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Blackmoor
How do I find out if my home in Blackmoor is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Blackmoor?
Yes. Blackmoor is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Why get it checked now?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Acting quickly typically means less damage overall. For older village homes like those around Blackmoor, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
