Storm damage roof report in Fawler
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you’ve noticed damaged pots on the stack and slates and tiles blown off the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks alike.
Somewhere as small as Fawler, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old 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.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Fawler?
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Stains appearing after strong winds
If you let a flat or house near Finstock station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What exactly goes into their report
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Photograph damage inside the house too
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.
What we can’t see
A survey is a careful look at the roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you before you book. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Storm damage roof reports around Fawler
With Blenheim Palace about 4.4 miles east, Fawler sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you look after a building such as Finstock Church of England Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. The streets around a church such as Church of the Holy Trinity are often 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.

Questions from Fawler
Is Fawler in the area you cover?
Yes, Fawler is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you cover smaller places like Fawler?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from the ground first if it is safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
