Storm damage roof report in Sherington: what you get
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you are worried about damaged pots on the stack and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Sherington, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We check what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Questions from Sherington
Do you cover smaller places like Sherington?

Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
When to book a survey in Sherington
Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People usually call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
We are often asked to look at:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged ridges and hips
Take a building like Sherington Church of England School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their insurance cover
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
When you need someone else
A survey is a close look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording

Leaks and storm damage in Sherington
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. The wider area around Sherington has a long history of building, with Linford Manor about 3.6 miles south-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Laud are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. The survey normally takes between one and two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Rural addresses near Sherington can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

DIY checks: what’s safe
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
