Storm damage roof report in Quelm Park
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: 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. If you’re worried about holes or cracks caused by debris and ridge tiles that have come loose, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like Quelm Park, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. It helps to know when and where the water appears. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Being in a smaller place like Quelm Park does not change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey

Advice
Common questions in Quelm Park
Is my home in Quelm Park listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Are flat-roofed garages and porches in Quelm Park worth including?
Normally, yes: tell us about it when you book so the visit can include it. Many homes in new towns like Bracknell have flat-roofed garages and porches, and felt roofs frequently last around 15–20 years.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from ground level or from windows. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we will record the rest.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. We will confirm the timing when booking.

Storm damage roof reports around Quelm Park
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Quelm Park is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. Leaks on homes like these often come from flat-roofed additions or from rain driven up under low-pitched tiles.
If you let a flat or house near Bracknell station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sandy Lane Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Lexicon, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.

- Areas we can’t see safely

For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.

How we price storm damage roof reports
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What made you get in touch
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them

Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the wind. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. Each area is photographed and described.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
