How a storm damage roof report works in Huntercombe
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We survey flashings, flat roofs and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are slates and tiles blown off the roof and new damp or leaks inside.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Huntercombe can let water in, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Homes around Huntercombe frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Book a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Storm damage roof reports around Huntercombe
Dorney Court, about 1.4 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Huntercombe. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Take an older house close to St. Andrew's Shared Church: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Cippenham Infant School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Homes near green spaces such as Haymill Valley can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Can I check my roof myself?
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Common questions in Huntercombe
Is Huntercombe within the area you cover?
Yes, Huntercombe is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Huntercombe 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’re 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.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Practical tips
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
