About our storm damage roof report in Clifton Reynes
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you’ve noticed damaged pots on the stack and loose or torn flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Clifton Reynes, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
What to tell us when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.

Clifton Reynes: your questions answered
Is Clifton Reynes within the area you cover?
Yes. Clifton Reynes is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you cover Clifton Reynes?
Yes, Clifton Reynes is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
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 asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Why get it checked now?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you’re not relying only on your own photos. In a place like Clifton Reynes, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why us?
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- A written report with photos

What a storm damage roof report does not cover
It helps to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- How your policy defines a storm
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
- Ridges and hips
What happens on the day
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Clifton Reynes, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Clifton Reynes
The wider area around Clifton Reynes has a long history of building, with Turvey Abbey about 2.7 miles east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Useful tips for Clifton Reynes property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
