Longmoor Storm Damage Roof Report
Need a storm damage roof report in Longmoor? We can help, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Longmoor, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
How to book
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Longmoor
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey flat roofs, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are lead lifted at abutments and gaps where slates or tiles have gone.
Many homes in small places like Longmoor face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Longmoor
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged flat roof membrane
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Greatham Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
What to check before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.

Questions from Longmoor
Is my home in Longmoor listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Longmoor?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we cannot predict the outcome.

Storm damage roof reports in Longmoor: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
For landlords with property near Liss station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
