Storm damage roof report in Church End: what you get
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. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. The claim decision rests with your insurer. Common reasons to book are stains appearing after strong winds and slipped or missing slates or tiles, across gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and chimney stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Church End, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Church End questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Church End?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Church End within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s 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.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Do you carry out surveys 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 a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
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.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The kind of building and roof involved
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a hamlet or village like Church End, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, 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.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Advice
Wind, rain and roofs in Church End
About 2.5 miles west lies The Vyne, a reminder of how long the area around Church End has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If you live in an older home near Church of St. Leonard, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Anyone responsible for a site like The Loddon School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Malls, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It’s your record to use.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
When you need someone else
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Negotiating a claim settlement
