What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Which survey package you book
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Storm damage roof report in Denvilles
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. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. We survey gutters and fascias, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs, and people most often book us about ridge tiles that have come loose and water coming in after the storm.
Houses in smaller places like Denvilles can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. It’s useful to know when and where the water appears. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

For landlords and managing agents
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Leaks and storm damage in Denvilles
Denvilles lies within about 1 mile of the sea, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording, and many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, though it varies. Historic houses such as Warblington Castle, about 0.7 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Denvilles goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church like St Thomas à Becket Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Warblington School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. We photograph and describe each one.
Lead flashings
Wind can peel back flashings at abutments and stacks. We record which are loose or damaged.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Denvilles
Is my home in Denvilles listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Will you come out to Denvilles?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level, and we’ll record the rest.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
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. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Common roof problems in Denvilles
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- New damp or leaks inside
If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Denvilles, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the survey will not cover
- When you’ll get the report
- Will the report include photos?
- What insurance they carry
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. A visit to a smaller place like Denvilles is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Check pets are kept safely away
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Honest limits
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Acting for you with the insurer
- A price for the repairs
