Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Upper Chute
Is Upper Chute in the area you cover?
Yes, Upper Chute is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Chute?
Yes. Upper Chute is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
About our storm damage roof report in Upper Chute
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you’ve noticed slipped or missing slates or tiles and flat roof edges peeled back, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
For a small place like Upper Chute, the inspection is the same as anywhere: 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. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Storm damage roof reports in Upper Chute: local notes
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list.
Around Upper Chute, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. Damage is photographed and described.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Around Upper Chute, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Arrange a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Advice
What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How big the roof is
- Building height and the viewpoints available
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.
What to tell us when you contact us
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It is useful to include:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
If you’re unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Upper Chute?
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their insurance cover
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What experience they bring
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Honest limits
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- How your policy defines a storm
- A price for the repairs
