Storm damage roof report in Curridge
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. It is yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. We’re often asked to look into damaged pots on the stack and gutters pulled loose in the wind, across gutters and fascias, flashings and flat roofs.
Being in a small place like Curridge makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What else we do in Curridge
Common roof problems in Curridge
Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People normally call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Water coming in after the storm
Take an older house close to Holy Trinity: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How long the report takes to arrive
Storm damage roof reports in Curridge: local notes
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Historic houses such as Shaw House, about 2.5 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Curridge goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as Curridge Primary School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you own a rental within reach of Newbury Racecourse station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Curridge is about 3 miles north-west of Thatcham, in West Berkshire. Roofs in Curridge get the same thorough look as anywhere else in West Berkshire. We cover towns and villages across West Berkshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Reading.
Storm damage roof reports in RG18 are booked the same way as anywhere else. We offer storm damage roof reports to properties on Chapel Lane, Kiln Drive and Marsh Lane. Close by, we survey roofs in Longlane (1 mile east), Hermitage (1 mile north-east), Oare (2 miles north-east), Little Hungerford (2 miles north-east) and Wellhouse (2 miles east). We also work in nearby towns such as Newbury (3 miles south), Thatcham (3 miles south-east), Burghfield Common (11 miles east), Speenhamland (3 miles south-west), Hungerford (10 miles west) and Spencers Wood (14 miles east).
What’s near Curridge
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Bunk Inn and Trinity School. Curridge’s nearest station is Newbury Racecourse station, roughly 3.2 miles south of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include West Berkshire Community Hospital (2.7 miles south) and Donnington Castle (2.5 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Snelsmore Common.
What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as Curridge, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Curridge: your questions answered
Will you come out to Curridge?
Yes. Curridge is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Curridge is listed?
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.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Curridge
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Acting quickly usually means less damage overall. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Curridge, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
