About our storm damage roof report in Weston
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. If you’ve noticed broken or displaced guttering and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, on slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and ridges and hips alike.
Being in a small place like Weston makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Weston roofs and the weather
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. With Benham Park about 4.7 miles south-east, Weston sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Thomas' Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

FAQs for Weston
Do you cover Weston?
Yes, Weston is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you cover smaller places like Weston?
Yes. Weston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Which survey package you book
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Roof area
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Booking your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Weston, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Find any records of previous roof work
