Storm damage roof report in Roe End: what you get
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Typical surveys look at broken or displaced guttering and damaged pots on the stack, on flat roofs, ridges and hips and chimney stacks.
Being in a small place like Roe End makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Photograph damage inside the house too
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Roe End
Do you carry out roof surveys in Roe End?
Yes, Roe End is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Roe End?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Leave it or get it looked at?
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Around Roe End, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around Roe End can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Roe End
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If you own a rental within reach of Luton station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you live in an older home near Markyate Methodist Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

What we are asked to look at in Roe End
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People usually call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Flat roof edges peeled back
Take a building like Markyate Village School and Nursery: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
