About our storm damage roof report in Eversholt
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It is not a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Typical surveys look at lead lifted at abutments and slipped or missing slates or tiles, across gutters and fascias, flashings and ridges and hips.
Being in a small place like Eversholt 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, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Practical tips

- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Read your policy wording on storm damage

Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.

How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Cottages and farmhouses around Eversholt frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Why it’s worth a survey now in Eversholt
It’s useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. In a place like Eversholt, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Storm damage roof reports around Eversholt
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Historic houses like Flitwick Manor, about 1.9 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Eversholt goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Lawrence, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Local landmarks in Eversholt
Eversholt’s nearest station is Flitwick station, roughly 2.3 miles east of the centre. A little further out are Woburn Heritage Centre (3.1 miles west) and Ampthill Castle (3.1 miles north-east). Not far away are Heydon Hill and Cooper's Hill.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Eversholt: your questions answered
Is Eversholt within the area you cover?
Yes. Eversholt is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Eversholt?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when you book.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take an hour or two for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The report follows by email.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Is this a RICS 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 and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Common roof problems in Eversholt
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
If you own a rental within reach of Flitwick station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What insurance they carry
- What the survey won’t cover
- What follow-up you get after the report
