Wind, rain and roofs in Morestead
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For landlords with property near Shawford station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Morestead Church, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Storm damage roof report in Morestead: what you get
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. Common reasons to book are damaged flat roof membrane and slates and tiles blown off the roof, across flashings, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes.
Many homes in small places like Morestead 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 record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common questions in Morestead
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Morestead?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Morestead?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Morestead is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we cannot predict the outcome.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Morestead
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, alongside any photos you took yourself. For an older or listed building in a place like Morestead, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Roof by roof
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the wind. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
Chimney stacks
Wind can pull the flashings away from a chimney. Loose flashings are recorded.
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- When you need the report by
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The address and postcode of the property
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Morestead frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
