FAQs for Sacombe Green
Is Sacombe Green in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Sacombe Green is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Sacombe Green is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
How do I book a survey in Sacombe Green?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we can’t predict the outcome.
About our storm damage roof report in Sacombe Green
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey chimney stacks, ridges and hips and flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged gutters and fascias and loose or torn flashings.
Roofs in small places like Sacombe Green 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 written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What else we do in Sacombe Green
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Sacombe Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- 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’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Sacombe Green
With Aston Bury about 4.4 miles west, Sacombe Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Ralph Sadleir Middle School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you own a rental within reach of Watton-At-Stone station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are frequently where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Useful tips for Sacombe Green property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Sacombe Green
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. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Water coming in after the storm
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Katherine, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
