About our storm damage roof report in Simpson
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you’re worried about broken or displaced guttering and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Simpson makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- House, block, shop or office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- What kind of property and roof it is
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Simpson
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Simpson?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Simpson within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
What we can’t see
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Estimates of repair costs
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check

Why act early in Simpson
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. Around Simpson, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What you get with us
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Package prices that include VAT
- More than 20 years surveying roofs

What else we do in Simpson
Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. We record which are damaged and where.
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. We photograph any we find.
What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around Simpson can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Wind, rain and roofs in Simpson
About 1.7 miles south-west lies Bletchley Park, a reminder of how long the area around Simpson has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you let a flat or house near Bow Brickhill station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Thomas, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you look after a building like Charles Warren Academy, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
