Storm damage roof reports around Enborne
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. The wider area around Enborne has a long history of building, with Benham Park about 1.2 miles north. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Take a building like Enborne C.E. Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Landlords with a home close to Newbury station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Trees in and around Hamstead Marshall Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.

Storm damage roof report in Enborne: what you get
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. Common reasons to book are water coming in after the storm and damaged flat roof membrane, across gutters and fascias, flashings and slate and tile slopes.
Roofs in small places like Enborne frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

What affects the price in Enborne
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What to tell us when you get in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange

Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Enborne: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Enborne is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Enborne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from the ground first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. We record what we find.
What happens if roof problems are left?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Outbuildings and barns around Enborne are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

What else we do in Enborne
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, it typically takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Enborne frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
