Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Salford
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. We don’t decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are often asked to look into loose or torn flashings and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes.
Being in a small place like Salford 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.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Salford
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

What we look for on each type of 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.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We record what we can see of the fixings.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Salford needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The wider area around Salford has a long history of building, with Woburn Abbey about 4.6 miles south-east. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Salford?
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Look out for signs like these:
- Water coming in after the storm
- Loose or torn flashings
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Questions from Salford
Will you come out to Salford?
Yes. Salford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Salford is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
