Storm damage roof report in Edgehill: what you get
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. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We’re frequently asked to look into water coming in after the storm and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, on slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and flashings.
Roofs in small places like Edgehill frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Edgehill
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Height and safe access
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

When you call or email, these details help:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is

What else we do in Edgehill
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere like Edgehill needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Keep pets in another room
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Advice
Common roof problems in Edgehill
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Edgehill
How do I find out if my home in Edgehill is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover Edgehill?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Edgehill as anywhere else.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report is sent afterwards by email.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Why get it checked now?
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. For an older or listed building in a place like Edgehill, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
