Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Moulsford
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey flashings, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes, and people most frequently book us about torn or lifted flat roof coverings and water coming in after the storm.
In a village or hamlet like Moulsford, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We look at everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Checking the roof from ground level
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Moulsford: your questions answered
Is Moulsford in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Moulsford is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is Moulsford within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like Moulsford, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Wind, rain and roofs in Moulsford
With Basildon Park about 3.9 miles south, Moulsford sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Take a building like Cranford House School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Loose or torn flashings
If you own a rental within reach of Cholsey station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Moulsford
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
What happens if roof problems are left?
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. For older village homes like those around Moulsford, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
