About our storm damage roof report in Coley Park
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It is yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. Common reasons to book are damaged flat roof membrane and slates and tiles blown off the roof, across flat roofs, flashings and gutters and fascias.
In a smaller place like Coley Park, some roofs face open ground, 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’s a useful clue. Tell us when it happens when you contact us. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Coley Park roofs and the weather
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. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. About 3.5 miles north-west lies Mapledurham House, a reminder of how long the area around Coley Park has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you live near a park such as Eldon Square, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Take an older house close to All Nations Christian Centre: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Anyone responsible for a site like St Mary & All Saints Church of England Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. We record any damage we can see.
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Coley Park is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
How to book

Useful tips for Coley Park property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly usually means less damage overall. Around Coley Park, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.
