An independent record of roof damage after a storm across Ufton Nervet, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Get in touch for a price.
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Lead lifted at abutments
What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- House, block, shop or office
- How big the roof is
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
Storm damage roof report in Ufton Nervet: what you get
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a report with photos, sent by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey ridges and hips, chimney stacks and flashings, and people most frequently book us about slipped or missing slates or tiles and holes or cracks caused by debris.
Many homes in small places like Ufton Nervet face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Leaks and storm damage in Ufton Nervet
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get 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, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
Anyone responsible for a site like Sulhamstead and Ufton Nervet School will know that a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you let a flat or house near Aldermaston station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
You can learn a lot 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.
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Ufton Nervet can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Leave it or get it looked at?
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you’re not relying only on your own photos. In a small place like Ufton Nervet, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Why book us in Ufton Nervet
- Surveys on any day of the week
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Ufton Nervet
Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People usually call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Lead lifted at abutments
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
What to check before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Questions from Ufton Nervet
Is Ufton Nervet in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Ufton Nervet as anywhere else.
How do I find out if my home in Ufton Nervet is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
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 loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
