Storm damage roof report in Ruscombe
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. 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. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you’re worried about ridge tiles that have come loose and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Roofs in small places like Ruscombe often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Storm damage roof reports in Ruscombe: local notes
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If you look after a building like Polehampton Church of England Junior School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. For landlords with property near Twyford station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- The outcome of a claim
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up

What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Ruscombe?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Slates frequently outlast the nails that hold them. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
Clay and concrete tiles
Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. We record which are damaged and where.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Ruscombe
Branches and trees frequently come down on roofs during storms. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
People typically book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- New damp or leaks inside
The streets around a church such as Church of St James are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
What to check before booking
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- What happens after the report arrives
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Ruscombe can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
