Storm damage roof report in Fields End
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. Typical surveys look at torn or lifted flat roof coverings and damaged gutters and fascias, across gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes.
For a small place like Fields End, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Fields End roofs and the weather
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you live near a park such as Gadebridge Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Take an older house close to St Alban's Church: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Anyone responsible for a site like John F Kennedy Catholic School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Fields End: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Fields End?
Yes, Fields End is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you cover Fields End?
Yes, Fields End is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older rural homes like those around Fields End can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Arrange a survey

Related advice
Why get it checked now?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is normally better. In a small place like Fields End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
