Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in West End Green
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and flashings, and people most often book us about gaps where slates or tiles have gone and damaged pots on the stack.
Somewhere as small as West End Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We look at what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Wind, rain and roofs in West End Green
Historic houses like Stratfield Saye House, about 2 miles east, show how far back building in the area around West End Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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.

West End Green: your questions answered
Is my home in West End Green listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in West End Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in West End Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
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, which you can pass to your insurer.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
When you need someone else
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Areas we can’t see safely
- How your policy defines a storm
- Estimates of repair costs

Do you need a storm damage roof report in West End Green?
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Loose or torn flashings
If you let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like West End Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
