Storm damage roof report in Ravenstone
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photographs to give to your insurer. We survey gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged pots on the stack and ridge tiles that have come loose.
Somewhere as small as Ravenstone, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What happens if roof problems are left?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Older and listed buildings around Ravenstone may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

Storm damage roof reports around Ravenstone
Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your 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, so check with the council.
The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.

Common questions in Ravenstone
Will you come out to Ravenstone?
Yes, Ravenstone is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Ravenstone in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. We photograph any we find.
