Questions from Cheeseman's Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Cheeseman's Green?
Yes, Cheeseman's Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Is my home in Cheeseman's Green listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Cheeseman's Green
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We are often asked to look into lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and damaged gutters and fascias, on slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and chimney stacks.
Somewhere as small as Cheeseman's Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
If you’re unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Why act early in Cheeseman's Green
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. For an older or listed building in a place like Cheeseman's Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.

As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof.

Related advice
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Cheeseman's Green?
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damaged ridges and hips
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Finberry Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
