Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Sheet Hill
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and flashings, and people most often book us about damaged pots on the stack and water coming in after the storm.
Somewhere as small as Sheet Hill, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Why act early in Sheet Hill
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. That keeps a record of how it looked. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Sheet Hill, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Sheet Hill
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Every finding written up with photos

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Photograph damage inside the house too
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
What we can’t see
A survey is a proper look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- A price for the repairs
- Negotiating a claim settlement

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like Sheet Hill, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us 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 is safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- 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 we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Sheet Hill
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Loose or torn flashings
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- New damp or leaks inside
If you look after a building such as Plaxtol Primary School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Do you cover smaller places like Sheet Hill?
Yes, Sheet Hill is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
