Storm damage roof report in Hunton Bridge
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. We survey ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ridge tiles that have come loose and loose or torn flashings.
For a small place like Hunton Bridge, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Rural addresses near Hunton Bridge can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets in another room

Tips from our surveys
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Why get it checked now?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly usually means less damage overall. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hunton Bridge can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Wind, rain and roofs in Hunton Bridge
Historic houses such as High Elms Manor, about 2 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Hunton Bridge goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you own a rental within reach of Kings Langley station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Take an older house close to Church of St Paul: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Take a building like St Paul's Church of England Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Hunton Bridge questions
How do I find out if my home in Hunton Bridge is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover Hunton Bridge?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Hunton Bridge as anywhere else.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
