Storm damage roof report in Catmore: what you get
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. We survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias, and people most often book us about broken or displaced guttering and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Being in a small place like Catmore makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Why get it checked now?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Older cottages and farmhouses around Catmore can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.

Take a look at how roof surveys are priced and what we found on two real jobs.
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. We photograph each gap.
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, especially where the nails have corroded. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Other services in Catmore
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Catmore
Is my home in Catmore listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Catmore?
Yes, Catmore is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How long does the survey take?
It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. We will confirm the timing as you book.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Catmore?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Catmore
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Around Catmore, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.
Catmore is about 6 miles south-east of Wantage, in West Berkshire. In Catmore, as across West Berkshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Across West Berkshire, we cover Catmore and the places around it. You can also see our page for Reading.

What we do, step by step

As for time on site, it normally takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Catmore needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before the survey

- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
