How a storm damage roof report works in Dedworth
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We’re often asked to look into loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and broken or displaced guttering, across gutters and fascias, flat roofs and chimney stacks.
In a smaller place like Dedworth, some roofs face open ground, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that’s a useful clue. Let us know when it happens when you get in touch. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Leaks and storm damage in Dedworth
The wider area around Dedworth has a long history of building, with St Leonard's Hill about 0.6 miles south. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like 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. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Anyone responsible for a site like Dedworth Green First School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Homes near green spaces such as Sutherland Grange can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Dedworth questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Dedworth?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Dedworth?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
A survey is a close look at the roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- How your policy defines a storm
- A decision on your insurance claim
- Estimates of repair costs
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Ridges and hips
- Slate and tile slopes
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Gutters and fascias
- Flat roofs
How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. If you have questions on the day, just ask. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Dedworth, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are frequently where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.

Why get it checked now?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. In an older home around Dedworth, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before you book.
