About our storm damage roof report in Mockbeggar
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. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. Typical surveys look at cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and damaged ridges and hips, on gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and flashings.
Being in a small place like Mockbeggar makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- How your policy defines a storm
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Areas we can’t see safely

Roof types and parts we check
- Gutters and fascias
- Slate and tile slopes
- Ridges and hips
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. An independent report can follow. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Around Mockbeggar, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Getting a price
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

What else we do in Mockbeggar
Storm damage roof reports in Mockbeggar: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Martins, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. In and around Mockbeggar, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.

FAQs for Mockbeggar
Is my home in Mockbeggar listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is Mockbeggar in the area you cover?
Yes, Mockbeggar is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Mockbeggar as anywhere else.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.

Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Mockbeggar
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
