Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Storm damage roof report in Weston: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a photo-illustrated written report to give to your insurer. If you’ve noticed ridge tiles that have come loose and lead lifted at abutments, we can find out what’s behind it, on slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and flashings alike.
Roofs in small places like Weston frequently stand in the open, 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.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Common roof problems in Weston
Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People typically call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
We are often asked to look at:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- New damp or leaks inside
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Questions to ask before you book
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- House, block, shop or office
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Getting in touch
We’ll usually ask about:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Check how your policy defines a storm
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
FAQs for Weston
Is Weston in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Weston is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Weston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Storm damage roof reports around Weston
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. 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, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Weston Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Landlords with a home close to Baldock station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Around Weston, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
