- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Loose or torn flashings
Storm damage roof report in Mortimer
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and lead lifted at abutments.
Around Mortimer, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Leave it or get it looked at?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so there are no surprises later. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Mortimer, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
Storm damage roof reports in Mortimer: local notes
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. With Stratfield Saye House about 3.6 miles south-east, Mortimer sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near Mortimer Methodist Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Mortimer St John's C.E. Infant School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Mortimer is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Common roof problems in Mortimer
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
If you live near a park like Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Mortimer
Will you come out to Mortimer?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Mortimer?
Yes, Mortimer is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long will you be at the property?
It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. We will confirm the timing when you book.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when booking.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
