How a storm damage roof report works in Fawley Bottom
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We are often asked to look into roofs hit by falling trees and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, on gutters and fascias, flat roofs and flashings.
Being in a small place like Fawley Bottom makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Don’t go up a ladder to look.

Fawley Bottom questions
Is Fawley Bottom in the area you cover?
Yes, Fawley Bottom is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Will you come out to Fawley Bottom?
Yes. Fawley Bottom is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when you book.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Leave it or get it looked at?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. Those photos show the damage as it was. For an older or listed building in a place like Fawley Bottom, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

Checking the roof from the ground
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Storm damage roof reports around Fawley Bottom
About 1.5 miles north lies Stonor Park, a reminder of how long the area around Fawley Bottom has been built on. 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. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary the Virgin's Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you let a flat or house near Henley-On-Thames station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Fawley Bottom is about 3 miles north of Henley-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire.

How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take between one and two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Fawley Bottom, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
