Storm damage roof report in Wolverton
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We are often asked to look into flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and stains appearing after strong winds, across ridges and hips, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias.
Roofs in small places like Wolverton often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Questions from Wolverton
Do you cover Wolverton?
Yes, Wolverton is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is Wolverton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
How do I book a survey in Wolverton?
Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Storm damage roof reports in Wolverton: local notes
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. 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.
The streets around a church like Church of St Catherine are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Check how your policy defines a storm
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Wolverton?
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Lead lifted at abutments
Landlords with a home close to Thatcham station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What experience they bring
How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photographs, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a hamlet or village like Wolverton, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book
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 ring 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.

Different roofs, different checks
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.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
