Storm Damage Roof Report in Littleworth Corner
An independent record of roof damage after a storm across Littleworth Corner, using drones and thermal imaging where it applies. Call or email for a price.
- Water coming in after the storm
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
About our storm damage roof report in Littleworth Corner
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey gutters and fascias, slate and tile slopes and flashings, and people most often book us about damage from fallen branches or debris and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls.
Being in a small place like Littleworth Corner makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. Loose flashings are recorded.
Clay and concrete tiles
Strong gusts can lift and break tiles. We record which are damaged and where.
Common roof problems in Littleworth Corner
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Loose or torn flashings
- New damp or leaks inside
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Anne, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

- Their track record with similar roofs
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Littleworth Corner, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Booking a survey
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.

Littleworth Corner roofs and the weather
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. The wider area around Littleworth Corner has a long history of building, with Cliveden about 1.6 miles west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you look after a building like Dropmore Infant School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you own a rental within reach of Bourne End station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

FAQs for Littleworth Corner
Will you come out to Littleworth Corner?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Littleworth Corner?
Yes, Littleworth Corner is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. The written report follows by email.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
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. Check your policy wording.

Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
