Storm damage roof report in Midgham Green: what you get
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. 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. If you’ve noticed slates and tiles blown off the roof and water coming in after the storm, we can find out what’s behind it.
Many homes in small places like Midgham Green face open ground, 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 written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Midgham Green
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Landlords with a home close to Midgham station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Take an older house close to Church of St Matthew: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Anyone responsible for a site like Woolhampton C.E. Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

FAQs for Midgham Green
Will you come out to Midgham Green?
Yes, Midgham Green is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Midgham Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Midgham Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There is no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it’s clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older rural homes like those around Midgham Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
