How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Eastbury, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets in another room

How a storm damage roof report works in Eastbury
After a storm, it’s useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’ve noticed loose or torn flashings and slates and tiles blown off the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Eastbury makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Wind, rain and roofs in Eastbury
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St James, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Eastbury?
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, with photographs.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Damaged pots on the stack
Around Eastbury, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What experience they bring
What happens if roof problems are left?
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. For an older or listed building in a place like Eastbury, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why us?
- An independent look at the roof
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Clear package prices, including VAT
- PI and public liability insurance

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Eastbury
Is Eastbury in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Eastbury listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
How do I book a survey in Eastbury?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Will you check the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Useful tips for Eastbury property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
