Storm damage roof reports in Whistley Green: local notes
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. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Living close to Loddon Nature Reserve is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Anyone responsible for a site like St Nicholas Church of England Primary will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Storm damage roof report in Whistley Green
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a report with photos to give to your insurer. Common reasons to book are lead lifted at abutments and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, across flashings, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes.
Roofs in small places like Whistley Green often 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 record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Do you cover Whistley Green?

How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Whistley Green?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
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.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Whistley Green
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
For landlords with property near Twyford station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like Whistley Green, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Advice
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- File receipts for anything you pay for
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from ground level if it is safe. That keeps a record of how it looked. For older village homes like those around Whistley Green, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
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 safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us
