- Negotiating a claim settlement
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Repair costs or quotes for the work

How a storm damage roof report works in Fawley
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It’s a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and water coming in after the storm.
For a small place like Fawley, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. We photograph and describe each one.
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Fawley
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The roof’s overall size
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Building height and the viewpoints available
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.

Why get it checked now?
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Fawley
Will you come out to Fawley?
Yes, Fawley is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Fawley listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from the ground or from windows. 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.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Fawley roofs and the weather
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Greenlands, about 1.2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Fawley. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
For landlords with property near Henley-On-Thames station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Homes near green spaces like Fawley Court and Temple Island can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary the Virgin's Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Fawley is about 6 miles west of Marlow, in Oxfordshire. Whether the building in Fawley is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Our area takes in places right across Oxfordshire. Our Reading page covers surveys nearby.

The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Fawley, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
