Storm damage roof report in Wildmoor
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. 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. Typical surveys look at lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and damaged gutters and fascias, across gutters and fascias, flat roofs and ridges and hips.
Roofs in small places like Wildmoor often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs 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 applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Wildmoor: your questions answered
Will you come out to Wildmoor?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Wildmoor is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We look at whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take between one and two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Wildmoor, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know 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.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.

Advice
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- A decision on your insurance claim
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips

Wildmoor roofs and the weather
With The Vyne about 3 miles west, Wildmoor sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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 you own a rental within reach of Bramley (Hants) station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you run a business near Festival Place, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. Take a building like The Loddon School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
