About our storm damage roof report in Charlton
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. We don’t decide whether a storm met that test. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you’ve noticed damaged gutters and fascias and damage from fallen branches or debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Charlton face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Charlton: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Charlton?
Yes, Charlton is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Will you come out to Charlton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from the ground or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we’ll record the rest.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Charlton
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
Why act early in Charlton
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. For an older or listed building in a place like Charlton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

What we need to know
We’ll normally ask about:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What’s prompted the survey
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Rural addresses near Charlton 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. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Advice
Charlton roofs and the weather
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s 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.
If you let a flat or house near Andover station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. The streets around a church like St Thomas are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Charlton, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. Each area is photographed and described.
Honest limits
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- The outcome of a claim
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
