Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Bushey Heath
Will you come out to Bushey Heath?
Yes. Bushey Heath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is Bushey Heath in the area you cover?
Yes, Bushey Heath is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Bushey Heath as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Storm damage roof report in Bushey Heath
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a report with photos to give to your insurer. We survey flat roofs, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes, and people most often book us about gaps where slates or tiles have gone and loose or torn flashings.
In a smaller place like Bushey Heath, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather often points to an exposed detail. Tell us when it happens when you contact us. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Height and safe access
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How big the roof is
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- What made you get in touch
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Bushey Heath
The wider area around Bushey Heath has a long history of building, with Headstone Manor about 2.8 miles south. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Anyone responsible for a site like Bushey Heath Primary School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Landlords with a home close to Carpenders Park station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Photograph damage inside the house too
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.

Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows.

Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
