Storm damage roof report in Lower Green: what you get
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We are often asked to look into slipped or missing slates or tiles and damaged gutters and fascias, across slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and flashings.
For a small place like Lower Green, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Tell us 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Storm damage roof reports in Lower Green: local notes
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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Stargroves, about 4.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Lower Green. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Michael are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you let a flat or house near Kintbury station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. Anyone responsible for a site like Inkpen Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around Lower Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.

Lower Green questions
Is Lower Green within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is Lower Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Lower Green is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it is clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.

What else we do in Lower Green
Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
