Storm damage roof reports near Wolverton Common

The survey, step by step

The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older roofs in small places like Wolverton Common can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.

  1. We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
  2. Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
  3. We view the roof from safe positions.
  4. Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
  5. You receive the written report with photos.

How to prepare

  • Check pets are kept safely away
  • Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
  • Leave side gates unlocked

Arrange a survey

If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Wolverton Common

After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We are frequently asked to look into slates and tiles blown off the roof and damaged pots on the stack, on gutters and fascias, flashings and chimney stacks.

In a village or hamlet like Wolverton Common, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.

The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Practical tips

Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:

  • Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
  • Note the date and time you first saw the damage
  • Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
  • Keep receipts for any emergency work

If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.

Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.

Wolverton Common: your questions answered

Do you carry out roof surveys in Wolverton Common?

We do. The survey and report are the same in Wolverton Common as anywhere else.

Is Wolverton Common within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.

Does this replace a RICS home survey?

No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.

Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?

No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.

What’s the best way to book?

Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.

Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?

Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.

How long is the visit?

Expect it to take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Wolverton Common?

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.

Things that often lead to a survey include:

  • Ridge tiles that have come loose
  • Water coming in after the storm
  • Damaged gutters and fascias
  • Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks

If you look after a building such as The Hurst School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Before booking anyone

What’s in a roof survey

Why get it checked now?

Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. For an older or listed building in a place like Wolverton Common, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

For landlords and managing agents

Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer.

How the survey changes by roof type

Clay and concrete tiles

Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. The report shows each damaged area.

Slate roofs

In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.

Storm damage roof reports around Wolverton Common

A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.

If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Catherine, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Landlords with a home close to Midgham station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
