Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Cookham Dean
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. 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. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you’ve noticed damaged gutters and fascias and flat roof edges peeled back, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Cookham Dean, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Cookham Dean: your questions answered
Do you cover Cookham Dean?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Cookham Dean is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Cookham Dean?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when you book.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Cookham Dean
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
