What a storm damage roof report looks like in Moss End
With St Leonard's Hill about 4.5 miles east, Moss End sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Michael and All Angels, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Take a building like Garth Hill College: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Landlords with a home close to Bracknell station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

About our storm damage roof report in Moss End
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. Common reasons to book are damaged gutters and fascias and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, across ridges and hips, flat roofs and chimney stacks.
Many homes in small places like Moss End face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Why act early in Moss End
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. In a small place like Moss End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Moss End, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Advice
Honest limits
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- The outcome of a claim
- A price for the repairs
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
Surveys for landlords and agents in Moss End
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Moss End questions
Do you cover smaller places like Moss End?
Yes, Moss End is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Moss End in the area you cover?
Yes, Moss End is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Moss End as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Moss End?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
