How a storm damage roof report works in Enborne Row
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a report with photos to give to your insurer. We are often asked to look into damaged flat roof membrane and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, across flat roofs, flashings and chimney stacks.
Being in a small place like Enborne Row makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

FAQs for Enborne Row
How do I find out if my home in Enborne Row is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Enborne Row within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
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 my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we cannot predict the outcome.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Wind, rain and roofs in Enborne Row
The wider area around Enborne Row has a long history of building, with Stargroves about 2.6 miles south-west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Take a building like Enborne C.E. Primary School: a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. The streets around a church such as St Luke Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Enborne Row can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is usually better. For an older or listed building in a place like Enborne Row, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.

- House, block, shop or office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
