About our storm damage roof report in Moor Street
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey flashings, ridges and hips and chimney stacks, and people most frequently book us about damage from fallen branches or debris and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks.
For a small place like Moor Street, the inspection is the same as anywhere: 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, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes an hour or two at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Moor Street, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Moor Street
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Moor Street?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details like ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Moor Street is within about 3 miles of the coast.
Is Moor Street within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when booking.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Moor Street
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. We record which are damaged and where.
Chimney stacks
Wind can pull the flashings away from a chimney. Loose flashings are recorded.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

Getting in touch

- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What made you get in touch
- How the loft is reached, if there is one

If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.
Wind, rain and roofs in Moor Street
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Moor Street, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. 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.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Margaret, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For landlords with property near Rainham (Kent) station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Leigh Academy Rainham, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
