Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. We photograph any we find.
How a storm damage roof report works in Winterbrook
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and flashings, and people most often book us about roofs hit by falling trees and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
Many homes in small places like Winterbrook face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. 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.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Winterbrook
Is my home in Winterbrook listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Winterbrook
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. Historic houses such as Brightwell Manor, about 2.7 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Winterbrook goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you look after a building like Cholsey Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St John the Baptist's Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
When to book a survey in Winterbrook
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. What happens next is up to the insurer.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Water coming in after the storm
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
Landlords with a home close to Cholsey station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Winterbrook needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.
