Storm Damage Roof Report in Wood Street Village
Know where you stand with the roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out storm damage roof reports in Wood Street Village.
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
What a survey costs
To price your survey, we look at:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The size of the roof
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Wood Street Village
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey ridges and hips, flashings and gutters and fascias, and people most often book us about water coming in after the storm and ridge tiles that have come loose.
Many homes in small places like Wood Street Village face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Questions from Wood Street Village
Is my home in Wood Street Village listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Wood Street Village?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Wood Street Village?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like Wood Street Village, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Advice
Storm damage roof reports in Wood Street Village: local notes
Wanborough Manor, about 1.9 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wood Street Village. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Homes near green spaces such as Broadstreet can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. If you let a flat or house near Wanborough station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Photograph the damage safely from below
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
