About our storm damage roof report in Quendon
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a written report with photos, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Typical surveys look at loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and stains appearing after strong winds, on chimney stacks, flashings and gutters and fascias.
Being in a small place like Quendon makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How we price storm damage roof reports
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Roof area
- House, block, shop or office
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking.
Booking your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Checking the roof from the ground
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Common questions in Quendon
How do I find out if my home in Quendon is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover Quendon?
Yes, Quendon is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You’ll then get the report by email.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
There is no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. Loose flashings are recorded.
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. We photograph each gap.
What we cannot see
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- How your policy defines a storm
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roofs we survey in Quendon

Surveys for landlords and agents in Quendon
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.

What happens on the day
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older roofs in small places like Quendon can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
Arrange a survey
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before you book.
