Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Mongewell
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a report with photos, 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. We survey slate and tile slopes, flashings and gutters and fascias, and people most frequently book us about holes or cracks caused by debris and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
Many homes in small places like Mongewell 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 record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Mongewell
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Mongewell?
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What happens after the report arrives
Common questions in Mongewell
Will you come out to Mongewell?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you cover Mongewell?
Yes, Mongewell is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
Mongewell roofs and the weather
With Brightwell Manor about 2.6 miles north-west, Mongewell sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Crowmarsh Gifford Church of England School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you live near a park such as Kinecroft, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

How we price storm damage roof reports
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Which survey package you book
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Booking your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Mongewell, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets in another room
