Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Woodside
Will you come out to Woodside?
Yes, Woodside is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Woodside in the area you cover?
Yes, Woodside is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long does the survey take?
It normally takes about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
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.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How a storm damage roof report works in Woodside
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: 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. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. Common reasons to book are slates and tiles blown off the roof and damaged flat roof membrane, across flat roofs, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias.
Many homes in small places like Woodside face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
Why get it checked now?
It’s useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Outbuildings and barns around Woodside are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. On timing, most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a hamlet or village like Woodside, 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.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Storm damage roof reports around Woodside
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Vernham Dean Gillum's Church of England Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
