How a storm damage roof report works in Woolhampton
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. 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’re often asked to look into flat roof edges peeled back and slipped or missing slates or tiles, on flashings, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
Roofs in small places like Woolhampton often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You will see the good as well as the bad.

How we price storm damage roof reports
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Which survey package you book
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The address and postcode of the property
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Rural addresses near Woolhampton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Leave side gates unlocked
How to book
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

FAQs for Woolhampton
How do I find out if my home in Woolhampton is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Woolhampton?
Yes, Woolhampton is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
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. An independent report can follow. Older and listed buildings around Woolhampton may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Woolhampton
- Surveys seven days a week
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
Leaks and storm damage in Woolhampton
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. 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.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Peter, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you look after a building like Woolhampton C.E. Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails often fail first. We look at whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the wind. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
