How a storm damage roof report works in Jealott's Hill
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you’ve noticed flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and water coming in after the storm, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Jealott's Hill face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. 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.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Jealott's Hill?
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
For businesses in and around places like The Lexicon, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the price includes VAT
- When you’ll get the report
Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. Each one is recorded with photos.
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.
What affects the price in Jealott's Hill
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Which survey package you book
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Roof area
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Jealott's Hill
Do you cover Jealott's Hill?
Yes, Jealott's Hill is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Jealott's Hill as anywhere else.
Do you cover smaller places like Jealott's Hill?
Yes, Jealott's Hill is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There is no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
How do I book a survey in Jealott's Hill?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Storm damage roof reports around Jealott's Hill
St Leonard's Hill, about 4.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Jealott's Hill. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Michael and All Angels, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you look after a building such as Garth Hill College, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
