Storm damage roof report in Bedmond: what you get
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. We survey gutters and fascias, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged flat roof membrane and ridge tiles that have come loose.
Roofs in small places like Bedmond often stand in the open, 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 written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Bedmond needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Advice
Common questions in Bedmond
How do I find out if my home in Bedmond is listed?
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.
Do you cover Bedmond?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Bedmond as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Useful tips for Bedmond property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It’s your record to use.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They can help show the roof was looked after.
Checking the roof from the ground
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Bedmond
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bedmond can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why book with us
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Over 20 years’ experience

Leaks and storm damage in Bedmond
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. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. With High Elms Manor about 1.5 miles south-east, Bedmond sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of the Ascension, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you let a flat or house near Kings Langley station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. If you look after a building such as Bedmond Academy, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
