Storm damage roof report in Burn's Green: what you get
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos 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. If you’ve noticed stains appearing after strong winds and holes or cracks caused by debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and fascias, flat roofs and flashings alike.
Being in a small place like Burn's Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Burn's Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Burn's Green
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How big the roof is
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It is useful to include:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where the property is, with the postcode
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Estimates of repair costs
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before booking. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Slate and tile slopes
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
- Flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs
Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. Each area is photographed and described.

Wind, rain and roofs in Burn's Green
The wider area around Burn's Green has a long history of building, with Aston Bury about 2.1 miles west. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Anyone responsible for a site like Benington Church of England Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. For landlords with property near Watton-At-Stone station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Peter, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Burn's Green
Will you come out to Burn's Green?
Yes, Burn's Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Burn's Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
