About our storm damage roof report in Padworth Common
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It’s a report with photographs, sent by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you’re worried about torn or lifted flat roof coverings and ridge tiles that have come loose, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Padworth Common, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report works through the roof section by section, 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.

Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Padworth Common can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
How we price storm damage roof reports
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- House, block, shop or office
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey

Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What kind of property and roof it is
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Storm damage roof reports in Padworth Common: local notes
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. An older home may be listed, or stand 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Aldermaston station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Homes near green spaces such as Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Common questions in Padworth Common
Do you carry out roof surveys in Padworth Common?
Yes, Padworth Common is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.

Yes. Padworth Common is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
