How a storm damage roof report works in Lyneham
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It’s a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you’ve noticed flat roof edges peeled back and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Lyneham makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we look for on each type of roof

Leaks and storm damage in Lyneham
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
Whatever the street in Lyneham, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.

- How your policy defines a storm
- A price for the repairs
- The outcome of a claim

- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
- Flashings
- Gutters and fascias
- Slate and tile slopes
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Every price we give includes VAT. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
Booking your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- When you need the report by
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The address and postcode of the property
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
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, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Lyneham, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets in another room
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

FAQs for Lyneham
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Lyneham?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Lyneham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the 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.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
