Storm damage roof report in Old Wolverton: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. If you are worried about lead lifted at abutments and damaged gutters and fascias, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and flashings alike.
Around Old Wolverton, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Wind, rain and roofs in Old Wolverton
With Linford Manor about 2.9 miles east, Old Wolverton 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. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you let a flat or house near Wolverton station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Take an older house close to Holy Trinity Church: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you run a business near Midsummer Place, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

What happens if roof problems are left?
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, alongside any photos you took yourself. Homes in smaller places like Old Wolverton can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Old Wolverton
- Photos and a written report every time

FAQs for Old Wolverton
How do I find out if my home in Old Wolverton is listed?
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.
Is Old Wolverton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits 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.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.

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’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof.

It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
