Little Mill questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Little Mill?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Little Mill is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Is my home in Little Mill listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect what can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
About our storm damage roof report in Little Mill
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you’ve noticed damaged ridges and hips and damage from fallen branches or debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Little Mill, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Leave it or get it looked at?
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Older and listed buildings around Little Mill may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

When to book a survey in Little Mill
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.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
Take a building like East Peckham Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- What insurance they carry
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like Little Mill, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
