Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Stanford Dingley
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. If you’re worried about damaged flat roof membrane and lead lifted at abutments, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and fascias, flashings and flat roofs alike.
Being in a small place like Stanford Dingley makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

Stanford Dingley roofs and the weather
Basildon Park, about 4.5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stanford Dingley. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For landlords with property near Aldermaston station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. The streets around a church like Church of St Denys are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. An independent report can follow. For an older or listed building in a place like Stanford Dingley, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
