Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Rose Hill
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a report with photos, sent by email. It does not 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. Common reasons to book are holes or cracks caused by debris and slates and tiles blown off the roof, across gutters and fascias, flashings and ridges and hips.
Roofs in small places like Rose Hill often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Why act early in Rose Hill
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. Outbuildings and barns around Rose Hill are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
What affects the price in Rose Hill
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Rose Hill: your questions answered
Is Rose Hill in the area you cover?
Yes, Rose Hill is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Rose Hill?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we can’t predict the outcome.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from ground level or from windows. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.

Storm damage roof reports around Rose Hill
Historic houses such as Cliveden, about 1 mile north-west, show how far back building in the area around Rose Hill goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, 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, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you let a flat or house near Taplow station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Anyone responsible for a site like St Peter's Church of England Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. Trees in and around Cocksherd Wood shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, particularly where the nails have corroded. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. For a village or hamlet like Rose Hill, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- 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.

- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
