Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Chale Green
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you are worried about loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and fascias, flashings and slate and tile slopes alike.
Somewhere as small as Chale Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Chale Green
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Chale Green
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Height and safe access
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Leaks and storm damage in Chale Green
Chale Green is within about 2 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Driving rain off the sea can be pushed into gaps that stay dry in calmer weather, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. With Wolverton Manor about 2.5 miles north-west, Chale Green sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently 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 live in an older home near St. James' Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Why get it checked now?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. That keeps a record of how it looked. In a small place like Chale Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.

What we do, step by step
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around Chale Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets in another room

Common questions in Chale Green
Is Chale Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is the coastal weather around Chale Green hard on roofs?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows, and Chale Green is within about 2 miles of the coast.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
