About our storm damage roof report in Wokefield
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We are often asked to look into damaged gutters and fascias and damaged pots on the stack, across flashings, ridges and hips and flat roofs.
Many homes in small places like Wokefield face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

What affects the price in Wokefield
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The size of the roof
- House, block, shop or office
- Which survey package you book
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: 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 to tell us when you get in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- When you need the report by
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Wokefield roofs and the weather
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. About 3.4 miles south lies Stratfield Saye House, a reminder of how long the area around Wokefield has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like The Willink School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Wokefield is about 4 miles south-west of Reading, in West Berkshire. Wokefield gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Wokefield is one of the places in West Berkshire we cover for storm damage roof reports.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Wokefield
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps with budgets and planning.
Landlords and letting agents in Wokefield book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Wokefield can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Wokefield: your questions answered
Is my home in Wokefield listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is 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.
Is Wokefield in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Wokefield is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Wokefield?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
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 cannot be seen from outside.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
