What we’re asked to look at in Bullingstone
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Stains appearing after strong winds
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Storm damage roof report in Bullingstone
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a written report with photos, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey flashings, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are new damp or leaks inside and lead lifted at abutments.
For a small place like Bullingstone, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

Why it is worth a survey now in Bullingstone
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Bullingstone, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Why book with us
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Photographs and a written report every time
- An independent view of the roof

Common questions in Bullingstone
Do you cover Bullingstone?
Yes, Bullingstone is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Bullingstone is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. We photograph and describe each one.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older rural homes like those around Bullingstone can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
