About our storm damage roof report in Farleigh Wallop
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. If you’ve noticed damaged pots on the stack and ridge tiles that have come loose, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Farleigh Wallop, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. We check what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- File receipts for anything you pay for
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.

Farleigh Wallop questions
How do I find out if my home in Farleigh Wallop is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Farleigh Wallop within the area you cover?
Yes. Farleigh Wallop is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Farleigh Wallop, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Book a survey
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
