About our storm damage roof report in Well
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. If you’re worried about ridge tiles that have come loose and holes or cracks caused by debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips alike.
Somewhere as small as Well, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Common questions in Well
Will you come out to Well?
Yes, Well is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Well?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from the ground or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we’ll record the rest.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails frequently fail first. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
Wind, rain and roofs in Well
Farnham Castle, about 4.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Well. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. If you live in an older home near Lord Wandsworth College Chapel, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you look after a building such as Lord Wandsworth College, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The roof’s overall size
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Why get it checked now?
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Well, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.

The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Well 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. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
