About our storm damage roof report in Breachwood Green
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We’re not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you are worried about loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and damaged ridges and hips, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flashings alike.
Being in a small place like Breachwood Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Breachwood Green
With Shaw's Corner about 4.4 miles south-east, Breachwood Green sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. For landlords with property near Luton Airport Parkway station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Breachwood Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Breachwood Green?
Yes, Breachwood Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Breachwood Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Common roof problems in Breachwood Green

- New damp or leaks inside
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Shop and office owners around The Mall Luton may find that a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Breachwood Green
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What made you get in touch
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Why get it checked now?
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you are not relying only on your own photos. In a place like Breachwood Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Clay and concrete tiles
Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. The report shows each damaged area.
How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a hamlet or village like Breachwood Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
