How a storm damage roof report works in Coldmoorholme
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It is not a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Typical surveys look at broken or displaced guttering and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, across flat roofs, flashings and slate and tile slopes.
Roofs in small places like Coldmoorholme often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Wind, rain and roofs in Coldmoorholme
Historic houses such as Cliveden, about 2.2 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Coldmoorholme goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Mark, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Claytons Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Coldmoorholme, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.

Coldmoorholme questions
Is Coldmoorholme in the area you cover?
Yes, Coldmoorholme is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Coldmoorholme listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How do I book a survey in Coldmoorholme?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Flat roof coverings
On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. We record any damage and where it is.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Coldmoorholme can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
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.
