Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Easthampstead
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. Your insurer still makes the decision.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
Take an older house close to St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Are they insured for the work?
- What happens after the report arrives
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
How a storm damage roof report works in Easthampstead
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you’ve noticed torn or lifted flat roof coverings and damaged ridges and hips, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Around Easthampstead, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it is not always obvious where it starts. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Storm damage roof reports around Easthampstead
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you own a rental within reach of Bracknell station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you run a business near The Lexicon, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Easthampstead
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run seven days a week, which can make access easier.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a smaller place like Easthampstead, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- You tell us 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Tell us about parking before the day
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Useful tips for Easthampstead property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Do not go up a ladder to look.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Easthampstead
Should a flat-roofed garage or porch in Easthampstead be checked too?
Yes, if you’d like it included, mention it when booking. On buildings from before 2000, cement sheet roofs may contain asbestos and should be checked by a specialist asbestos surveyor before anyone disturbs them.
How do I find out if my home in Easthampstead is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Is Easthampstead in your area?
Yes. We carry out storm damage roof reports in Easthampstead, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.

Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. We photograph and describe the damage.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Checking the roof from the ground
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
