How a storm damage roof report works in Buckland
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you are worried about damaged ridges and hips and flat roof edges peeled back, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Buckland makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. We photograph any we find.

What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Buckland needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Find any records of previous roof work

Advice
Questions from Buckland
Is my home in Buckland listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Buckland within the area you cover?
Yes, Buckland is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. 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.
Storm damage roof reports around Buckland
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so check with the council.
For landlords with property near Betchworth station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you run a business near The Belfry, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.
