Storm Damage Roof Report in Holme Green
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Holme Green, and put it all in a report with photographs.
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Holme Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

How a storm damage roof report works in Holme Green
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’ve noticed loose or torn flashings and damaged pots on the stack, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and hips, flat roofs and flashings alike.
Many homes in small places like Holme Green face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Holme Green roofs and the weather
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 the council is the place to ask. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Sebastian's Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Lexicon, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

What we need to know

- The property’s address and postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block

Practical tips
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Do not go up a ladder to look.

Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
How are storm damage reports priced?
