What affects the price in Myrke
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The size of the roof
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
About our storm damage roof report in Myrke
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It doesn’t 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. We survey slate and tile slopes, flashings and gutters and fascias, and the problems we are asked to look at most are holes or cracks caused by debris and slipped or missing slates or tiles.
Many homes in small places like Myrke face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Common questions in Myrke
Do you carry out roof surveys in Myrke?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Myrke is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Myrke?
Yes, Myrke is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is usually 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.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Myrke?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.

Why it is worth a survey now in Myrke
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. Our report gives an honest view of both, so you know what the roof shows. For an older or listed building in a place like Myrke, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Wind, rain and roofs in Myrke
About 1.2 miles south-west lies Windsor Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Myrke has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Trees in and around Herschel Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters. If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Myrke, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it pays to find faults before guests do.

Common roof problems in Myrke
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Problems we come across often include:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Lead lifted at abutments
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Laurence, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Will the report include photos?
- What insurance they carry
How it works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect about one to two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Myrke, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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 is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
