How a storm damage roof report works in Denton
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. 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 can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Common reasons to book are lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, on flat roofs, ridges and hips and flashings.
Around Denton, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

How we price storm damage roof reports
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Height and safe access
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How big the roof is
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Anything about access we should know
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a survey in Denton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:

- A decision on your insurance claim
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
- Flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.

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.

What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
