Storm damage roof report in Shefford Woodlands
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. Common reasons to book are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and gutters pulled loose in the wind, across flashings, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
For a small place like Shefford Woodlands, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Wind, rain and roofs in Shefford Woodlands
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
Take an older house close to Church of St Stephen: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you own a rental within reach of Hungerford station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Are you loss adjusters?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Areas we can’t see safely
- Negotiating a claim settlement
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Photograph damage inside the house too
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.

- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
