Leaks and storm damage in Hungerford Green
The wider area around Hungerford Green has a long history of building, with Basildon Park about 3.4 miles east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, 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. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For landlords with property near Goring & Streatley station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. The streets around a church like St Mary's church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Anyone responsible for a site like The Downs School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

About our storm damage roof report in Hungerford Green
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. Common reasons to book are lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and damaged flat roof membrane, across flashings, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes.
Roofs in small places like Hungerford Green often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

How we price storm damage roof reports
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How big the roof is
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What to tell us when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What’s prompted the survey
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: 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.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.

What else we do in Hungerford Green
What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Hungerford Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. For older village homes like those around Hungerford Green, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why us?
- Package prices that include VAT
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Every finding written up with photos
- An independent view of the roof

Questions from Hungerford Green
Will you come out to Hungerford Green?
Yes, Hungerford Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Hungerford Green?
Yes, Hungerford Green is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Honest limits
It’s useful to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
