About this Service
A roof damage assessment in Charmouth documents storm, heavy rain and landslip-related risks for coastal cottages and village homes. The assessment delivers a high-resolution photo pack and a written condition report that identifies visible damage, water ingress and access limitations. It suits owners preparing insurance claims after heavy weather or where local geology complicates repair access.
Charmouth inspections emphasise site-access and geotechnical constraints. Heavy rain and nearby landslip-prone cliffs can restrict scaffold positioning and lengthen repair windows. Surveys record thatch material, ridge wear and any structural concerns where retained earth or unstable slopes are nearby. Drone surveys are commonly used when cliff access is unsafe. Internal checks for damp, rot and displaced timbers are included where safe access permits.
The condition report sets out a practical repair scope, recommends any temporary weatherproofing and notes access or timing constraints that will affect costs and schedules. Intrusive tests such as lifting thatch or taking material samples are quoted separately. Documentation is prepared for insurers and for local Roof Thatchings, and it flags any site-stability or consent considerations unique to Charmouth’s coastal setting.
