Storm Damage Roof Report in Bullbrook
An independent record of roof damage after a storm around Bullbrook, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
When to book a survey in Bullbrook
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. We record the damage and where it is, with photographs.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- New damp or leaks inside
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Lexicon, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- What happens after the report arrives
- How soon the report will arrive
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Bullbrook
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flat roofs, and people most often book us about gaps where slates or tiles have gone and flat roof edges peeled back.
Around Bullbrook, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. We record what we find.
Slate roofs
Slates frequently outlast the nails that hold them. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Bullbrook
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
Landlords and agents in Bullbrook book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Bullbrook questions
Will you come out to Bullbrook?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Should a flat-roofed garage or porch in Bullbrook be checked too?
Normally, yes: let us know about it as you book so the visit can include it. Many homes in new towns like Bracknell have flat-roofed garages and porches, and felt roofs frequently last around 15–20 years.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. 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.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when you book.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
What affects the price in Bullbrook
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Height and safe access
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
What to let us know when you contact us
When you call or email, these details help:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a smaller place like Bullbrook, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Booking a survey
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.

Storm damage roof reports in Bullbrook: local notes
Bracknell, which Bullbrook is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. Leaks on homes like these frequently come from flat-roofed additions or from rain driven up under low-pitched tiles. St Leonard's Hill, about 4.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bullbrook. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like 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.
The streets around a church like St Paul are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you look after a building such as Holly Spring Junior School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
