How a storm damage roof report works in Hungerford
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Typical surveys look at ridge tiles that have come loose and new damp or leaks inside, on slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and flashings.
Roofs in small places like Hungerford often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Wind, rain and roofs in Hungerford
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you look after a building like Waltham St Lawrence Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Leave it or get it looked at?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Around Hungerford, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Roof by roof
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. We photograph and describe each one.
Flat roof coverings
On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. Damage is photographed and described.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
What happens on the day
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, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere like Hungerford 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 is safe access and from the roof where it is 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.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Check pets are kept safely away

Hungerford questions
Is Hungerford within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is my home in Hungerford listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
