- Roofs hit by falling trees
Storm damage roof report in Woolmer: what you get
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. If you’ve noticed gutters pulled loose in the wind and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Woolmer, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Cottages and farmhouses around Woolmer frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Useful tips for Woolmer property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How big the roof is
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Height and safe access
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Woolmer?
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
If you own a rental within reach of Liss station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What experience they bring
Woolmer roofs and the weather
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
The streets around a church such as St Matthew's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Anyone responsible for a site like St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

DIY checks: what’s safe
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. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
FAQs for Woolmer
Do you cover smaller places like Woolmer?
Yes, Woolmer is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Woolmer?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That’s not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take between one and two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The written report follows by email.
