Questions from Weston Underwood
Do you carry out roof surveys in Weston Underwood?
Yes, Weston Underwood is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Weston Underwood as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Weston Underwood?
Yes, Weston Underwood is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
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 much is a storm damage roof report?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
About our storm damage roof report in Weston Underwood
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. Typical surveys look at gaps where slates or tiles have gone and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, on slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and ridges and hips.
Somewhere as small as Weston Underwood, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

When to book a survey in Weston Underwood
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People usually call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damaged ridges and hips
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Olney Infant Academy, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Choosing a roof surveyor

DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.

What else we do in Weston Underwood
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Weston Underwood, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is 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.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
Honest limits
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Repair costs or quotes for the work

- Slate and tile slopes
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Gutters and fascias
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Wind, rain and roofs in Weston Underwood
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Take an older house close to Church of St Lawrence: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
