Questions from Charter Alley
Will you come out to Charter Alley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Charter Alley?
Yes, Charter Alley is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Charter Alley as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How many surveys have you done?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Charter Alley
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you’ve noticed slipped or missing slates or tiles and stains appearing after strong winds, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Charter Alley makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. We photograph and describe the damage.
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The size of the roof
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. In a hamlet or village like Charter Alley, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Booking a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Charter Alley
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, with photos.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged gutters and fascias
Take an older house close to Christ Church: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- When you will get the report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What follow-up you get after the report
Storm damage roof reports in Charter Alley: local notes
With The Vyne about 2.6 miles east, Charter Alley sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Priory Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
