Storm damage roof report in Lower Padworth
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We’re often asked to look into flat roof edges peeled back and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, on flashings, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes.
Being in a small place like Lower Padworth makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. 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 photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Why get it checked now?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower Padworth, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the price for the job before you book.

FAQs for Lower Padworth
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Padworth?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Lower Padworth is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.

Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Lower Padworth
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Aldermaston station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

The survey, step by step
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Lower Padworth, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.

Advice
What we are asked to look at in Lower Padworth
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- How soon the report will arrive
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Roof by roof
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. We photograph any we find.
