Highstreet Green Storm Damage Roof Report
Get a clear view of the roof at a property in Highstreet Green. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged ridges and hips
DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
About our storm damage roof report in Highstreet Green
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We’re often asked to look into stains appearing after strong winds and damage from fallen branches or debris, on gutters and fascias, flat roofs and ridges and hips.
Somewhere as small as Highstreet Green, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older rural homes like those around Highstreet Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Questions from Highstreet Green
Is Highstreet Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Highstreet Green is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is Highstreet Green in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.

Leaks and storm damage in Highstreet Green
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
