Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in White Waltham
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you are worried about lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and holes or cracks caused by debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
For a small place like White Waltham, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in White Waltham
Do you cover smaller places like White Waltham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How do I find out if my home in White Waltham is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you look in the loft space?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
What we can’t see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.

Leaks and storm damage in White Waltham
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Dorney Court, about 4.6 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around White Waltham. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Living close to Ockwells Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.

Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Outbuildings and barns around White Waltham are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
