Storm damage roof report in Ramsden
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. Common reasons to book are broken or displaced guttering and damaged ridges and hips, across chimney stacks, flashings and ridges and hips.
Somewhere as small as Ramsden, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We check whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
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.

Roof by roof
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Ramsden, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Booking a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.

A survey is a careful look at the roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- A price for the repairs

Leaks and storm damage in Ramsden
The wider area around Ramsden has a long history of building, with Minster Lovell Hall about 3.1 miles south-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Landlords with a home close to Finstock station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Finstock Church of England Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Take an older house close to Church of St James: leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- File receipts for anything you pay for
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Ramsden
Is Ramsden within the area you cover?
Yes, Ramsden is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Ramsden?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Ramsden as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
