Blashford Storm Damage Roof Report
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Blashford, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Blashford
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. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We survey flashings, chimney stacks and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged gutters and fascias and damaged ridges and hips.
Roofs in small places like Blashford 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 written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What else we do in Blashford
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
Common questions in Blashford
Is my home in Blashford listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover Blashford?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Blashford
With Avon Tyrrell House about 4.7 miles south-east, Blashford sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary and All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Roof area
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before you book.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The address and postcode of the property
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
When you’re ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older roofs in small places like Blashford can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Booking a survey

Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is normally better. In a small place like Blashford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

When to book a survey in Blashford
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Flat roof edges peeled back
If you look after a building such as Poulner Junior School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What the survey will not cover
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
