Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Shottesbrooke
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a report with photos, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey gutters and fascias, flashings and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fallen branches or debris and flat roof edges peeled back.
Many homes in small places like Shottesbrooke face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, particularly where the nails have corroded. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Shottesbrooke, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Storm damage roof reports around Shottesbrooke
Historic houses like Harleyford Manor, about 4.7 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Shottesbrooke goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you look after a building such as Cox Green School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Landlords with a home close to Twyford station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Questions from Shottesbrooke
Will you come out to Shottesbrooke?
Yes, Shottesbrooke is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Shottesbrooke?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes an hour or two at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
When you need someone else
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Estimates of repair costs
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we look at
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
