- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- How your policy defines a storm

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Lower Denford
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. If you are worried about damaged flat roof membrane and damage from fallen branches or debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flashings alike.
For a small place like Lower Denford, the inspection is the same as anywhere: 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, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Lower Denford: your questions answered
Is Lower Denford within the area you cover?
Yes, Lower Denford is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Lower Denford?
Yes, Lower Denford is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Lower Denford as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
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.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How we price storm damage roof reports
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Which survey package you book
- House, block, shop or office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What to tell us when you contact us
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What’s prompted the survey
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before you book.
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Lower Denford
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
Landlords with a home close to Hungerford station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Take an older house close to Hungerford Methodist Church: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

What we do, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a hamlet or village like Lower Denford, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.

Advice
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Lower Denford
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:
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Water coming in after the storm
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged pots on the stack
If you look after a building such as Hungerford Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
What to check before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Which limits apply to the survey
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
