Storm damage roof report in Longstock: what you get
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you’ve noticed lead lifted at abutments and damaged pots on the stack, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and flashings alike.
For a small place like Longstock, 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, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. We record any damage and where it is.
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects frequently fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. For an older or listed building in a place like Longstock, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
All our prices include VAT. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before you book.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
Common questions in Longstock
How do I find out if my home in Longstock is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Longstock in the area you cover?
Yes, Longstock is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There’s no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Longstock

What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Longstock needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- 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.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Longstock roofs and the weather
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so check with the council.
Homes near green spaces such as Longstock Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Longstock means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
