About our storm damage roof report in Beedon
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We are often asked to look into torn or lifted flat roof coverings and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks.
Many homes in small places like Beedon face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, 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 applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Beedon
Is my home in Beedon listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Beedon?
Yes. Beedon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.

Storm damage roof reports around Beedon
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. 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. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Beedon C.E. (Controlled) Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Beedon is about 7 miles north of Thatcham, in West Berkshire. Surveys in Beedon work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photos and a written report.

Why it is worth a survey now in Beedon
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, so you’re not relying only on your own photos. Outbuildings and barns around Beedon are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Honest limits
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- The outcome of a claim
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Negotiating a claim settlement
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
- Chimney stacks
- Gutters and fascias
Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Photograph damage inside the house too
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Rural addresses near Beedon can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Check we can get to the back of the property
How to book
