Why act early in Clayhall
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Blocked gutters on homes around Clayhall overflow and soak walls. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.

About our storm damage roof report in Clayhall
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. If you are worried about damaged ridges and hips and roofs hit by falling trees, we can find out what’s behind it.
Houses in smaller places like Clayhall can stand more in the open, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. It’s useful to know when and where the water appears. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Clayhall questions
How do I find out if my home in Clayhall is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Clayhall?
Yes, Clayhall is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from the ground first if it’s safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- The size of the roof
- House, block, shop or office
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
How the survey works
It’s useful 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 typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Clayhall, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- 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.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Booking a survey
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
What we cannot see
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- A decision on your insurance claim
- Acting for you with the insurer
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
Wind, rain and roofs in Clayhall
Clayhall is within about 1 mile of the coast, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. In a coastal gale, rain is driven sideways into laps, verges and flashings. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If you look after a building like Haselworth Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Tricorn Centre, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Clayhall?
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Lead lifted at abutments
The streets around a church such as St Francis are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs

- What they will not be able to tell you
