Storm damage roof report in Bagnor
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We are frequently asked to look into new damp or leaks inside and broken or displaced guttering, on flat roofs, flashings and gutters and fascias.
In a village or hamlet like Bagnor, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Bagnor roofs and the weather
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. Benham Park, about 0.8 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bagnor. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Bagnor, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Parish Church of St Mary, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Homes near green spaces like Victoria Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Bagnor is about 1 mile north-west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Whether the building in Bagnor is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed. Across West Berkshire, we cover Bagnor. There’s also a page for Reading.

Why act early in Bagnor
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly normally means less damage overall. Around Bagnor, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and two real surveys.
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How big the roof is
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What to let us know when you get in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where the property is, with the postcode
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
For landlords and managing agents
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Bagnor
Will you come out to Bagnor?
Yes, Bagnor is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bagnor?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Bagnor is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from the ground or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we will record the rest.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails often fail first. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older rural homes like those around Bagnor can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
