About our storm damage roof report in Frogmill
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a report with photos to give to your insurer. If you’re worried about water coming in after the storm and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, we can find out what’s behind it, on slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and ridges and hips alike.
In a village or hamlet like Frogmill, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Common roof problems in Frogmill
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Roofs hit by falling trees
Landlords with a home close to Henley-On-Thames station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Before you book anyone
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Their track record with similar roofs
Checking the roof from the ground
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, alongside any photos you took yourself. For an older or listed building in a place like Frogmill, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why book us in Frogmill
- Surveys on weekdays and at weekends
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- An independent look at the roof
What happens on the day
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Frogmill, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Find any records of previous roof work

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Frogmill: your questions answered
Is Frogmill in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Frogmill is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Frogmill?
Yes, Frogmill is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Chimney stacks
High winds can loosen pots, cowls and aerials on stacks. The report notes any damage to the stack.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Frogmill
Harleyford Manor, about 1 mile north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Frogmill. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For hotels and guest houses around Frogmill, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it pays to find faults before guests do.
