Storm Damage Roof Report in Stroud
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Stroud, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Get in touch for a price.
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Damaged gutters and fascias
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Storm damage roof report in Stroud
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. If you are worried about flat roof edges peeled back and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Stroud, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. We photograph each gap.
Chimney stacks
Stacks with existing defects tend to suffer more in storms. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Stroud
Is Stroud in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Stroud is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stroud?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we will record the rest.
How do I book a survey in Stroud?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.

Storm damage roof reports around Stroud
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If you look after a building such as Langrish Primary School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Stroud, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
