About our storm damage roof report in Wolverton
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and flashings, and people most often book us about broken or displaced guttering and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
In a village or hamlet like Wolverton, older cottages and farmhouses frequently 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’re thinking of an insurance claim. We look at what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Booking your survey

- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere like Wolverton needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- 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.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.

Storm damage roof reports in Wolverton: local notes
Wolverton is within about 3 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. The wider area around Wolverton has a long history of building, with Acrise Place about 4.6 miles west. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Living close to Sladden Wood is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Anthony the Martyr, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Tips from our surveys
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Photograph the damage safely from below
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.

FAQs for Wolverton
How do I find out if my home in Wolverton is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to Wolverton?
Yes, Wolverton is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That is not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
