What happens if roof problems are left?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so you know what the roof shows. Around Hulcote, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What you get with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Package prices that include VAT
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Over 20 years’ experience

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Hulcote
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. Common reasons to book are cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and damaged gutters and fascias, across flat roofs, gutters and fascias and flashings.
Many homes in small places like Hulcote face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

What else we do in Hulcote
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Leaks and storm damage in Hulcote
Woburn Abbey, about 3.6 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hulcote. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If you let a flat or house near Ridgmont station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

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 in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Hulcote needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Common questions in Hulcote
How do I find out if my home in Hulcote is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Hulcote?
Yes, Hulcote is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Hulcote?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- House, block, shop or office
- Which survey package you book
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
What to let us know when you contact us
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What’s prompted the survey
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Anything about access we should know
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
