Storm Damage Roof Report in Molehill Green
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Molehill Green. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Water coming in after the storm
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Molehill Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Check pets are kept safely away

Advice
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Molehill Green
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It does not price the repairs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you are worried about damaged pots on the stack and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Molehill Green, 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, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Molehill Green: your questions answered
Is Molehill Green within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Molehill Green?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It does not include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. We will confirm the timing when you book.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Molehill Green
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People typically call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
If you own a rental within reach of Stansted Airport station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- When you will get the report
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
