How a storm damage roof report works in Ashampstead Green
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey ridges and hips, flashings and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls.
In a village or hamlet like Ashampstead Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We look at everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.

Ashampstead Green: your questions answered
Is Ashampstead Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Ashampstead Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Ashampstead Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. We’ll confirm the timing when you book.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Ashampstead Green
The wider area around Ashampstead Green has a long history of building, with Basildon Park about 2.9 miles east. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Clement are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older roofs in small places like Ashampstead Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
