Wind, rain and roofs in Ditton
Historic houses such as Frogmore House, about 1.7 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Ditton goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you look after a building like Castleview Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you own a rental within reach of Datchet station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

About our storm damage roof report in Ditton
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey flat roofs, flashings and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and stains appearing after strong winds.
Somewhere as small as Ditton, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Questions from Ditton
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Ditton?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Ditton?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Ditton is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Ditton?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Ditton
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. What happens next is up to the insurer.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Damaged flat roof membrane
The streets around a church such as St Francis Assisi are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
How we price storm damage roof reports
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Helping us price your survey
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Anything about access we should know
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Rural addresses near Ditton 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.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
