Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Farringdon
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We’re often asked to look into water coming in after the storm and damaged gutters and fascias, on gutters and fascias, flashings and slate and tile slopes.
For a small place like Farringdon, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s useful 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.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Wind, rain and roofs in Farringdon
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. With Bentworth Hall about 3.7 miles north-west, Farringdon sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Landlords with a home close to Alton station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Farringdon
Do you cover smaller places like Farringdon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across 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 Farringdon?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Farringdon?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Why it is worth a survey now in Farringdon
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it’s safe. That keeps a record of how it looked. In a place like Farringdon, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. We photograph and describe the damage.
