How a storm damage roof report works in Beggar's Bush
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. Common reasons to book are ridge tiles that have come loose and damaged pots on the stack, across ridges and hips, flashings and flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Beggar's Bush, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. We check what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Leave it or get it looked at?
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Beggar's Bush can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

Beggar's Bush roofs and the weather
St Leonard's Hill, about 4.3 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Beggar's Bush. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Michael and All Angels, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you own a rental within reach of Sunningdale station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
