About our storm damage roof report in Warfield
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it’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’ve noticed broken or displaced guttering and new damp or leaks inside, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, flashings and slate and tile slopes alike.
Many homes in small places like Warfield face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. 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.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

When to book a survey in Warfield
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Problems we come across often include:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
Landlords with a home close to Bracknell station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. We record what we find.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Cottages and farmhouses around Warfield frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Warfield questions

Is Warfield within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take an hour or two for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report is sent afterwards by email.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Leaks and storm damage in Warfield
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Historic houses like St Leonard's Hill, about 4 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Warfield goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you run a business near The Lexicon, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. The streets around a church such as Church of St Michael and All Angels are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- How big the roof is
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
