Storm damage roof report in Emberton: what you get
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. Common reasons to book are damaged flat roof membrane and damage from fallen branches or debris, across gutters and fascias, flashings and ridges and hips.
Being in a small place like Emberton makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What happens on the day
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. The survey typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Emberton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- 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.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. We record which are damaged and where.
Common questions in Emberton
Is my home in Emberton listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Emberton?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How do I book a survey in Emberton?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Useful tips for Emberton property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Leaks and storm damage in Emberton
About 4.1 miles north-east lies Turvey Abbey, a reminder of how long the area around Emberton has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, 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. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
Anyone responsible for a site like Emberton School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. The streets around a church like Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What happens if roof problems are left?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. That keeps a record of how it looked. Around Emberton, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
