Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Amen Corner
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey ridges and hips, flat roofs and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are new damp or leaks inside and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
Older cottages and houses around Amen Corner may have roofs with little or no underlay. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there is little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Whether it is long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are often the first clues.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Amen Corner roofs and the weather
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. Bracknell, which Amen Corner is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Homes from the post-war decades are common in the new towns, many with low-pitched roofs in concrete tiles and flat-roofed garages or porches. Low pitches let wind-driven rain reach further under the tiles, and flat-roofed garages and porches are common leak points.
Anyone responsible for a site like Jennett's Park CofE Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you own a rental within reach of Bracknell station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. We record any damage we can see.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Common questions in Amen Corner
How do I find out if my home in Amen Corner is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Are flat-roofed garages and porches in Amen Corner worth including?
It is often worth it, as these roofs are easy to forget. Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a specialist asbestos surveyor should check before they’re disturbed.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Common roof problems in Amen Corner
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
People usually book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- New damp or leaks inside
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Broken or displaced guttering
If you run a business near The Lexicon, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.
What to check before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Their report turnaround times
Landlords, agents and block managers in Amen Corner
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Homes around Amen Corner frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Leave a clear route to the loft
