Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Stoughton
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. Common reasons to book are damage from fallen branches or debris and water coming in after the storm, across slate and tile slopes, flashings and flat roofs.
In a smaller place like Stoughton, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. Tell us when it happens when you get in touch. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Being in a smaller place like Stoughton does not change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- 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 ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Common questions in Stoughton
How do I find out if my home in Stoughton is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Stoughton?
Yes, Stoughton is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That is not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report does not include repair costs.

Common roof problems in Stoughton
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Common reasons to book include:
- Water coming in after the storm
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stoughton Infant School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.

Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
