Storm damage roof report in Tidmarsh: what you get
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Typical surveys look at roofs hit by falling trees and gutters pulled loose in the wind, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flashings.
Roofs in small places like Tidmarsh frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

FAQs for Tidmarsh
Do you cover smaller places like Tidmarsh?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you cover Tidmarsh?
Yes, Tidmarsh is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Tidmarsh as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Tidmarsh?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
How long does the survey take?
It normally takes about one to two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. You’ll then get the report by email.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What we’re asked to look at in Tidmarsh
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Take an older house close to Church of St Laurence: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
What to check before booking
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Are they insured for the work?
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What exactly goes into their report
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a hamlet or village like Tidmarsh, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including 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.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
How to book
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Tidmarsh
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey

Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Why get it checked now?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so there are no surprises later. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What else we do in Tidmarsh
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. Damage is photographed and described.
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Tidmarsh
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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. About 2.5 miles north-east lies Mapledurham House, a reminder of how long the area around Tidmarsh has been built on. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Pangbourne station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For hotels and guest houses around Tidmarsh, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it pays to find faults before guests do.
