How a storm damage roof report works in Terrick

When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’ve noticed roofs hit by falling trees and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it, on gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and flashings alike.

For a small place like Terrick, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.

If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports

We confirm the price for the job before booking. This is what makes a difference:

  • House, block, shop or office
  • The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
  • The use of thermal imaging or a drone
  • Building height and the viewpoints available

All our prices include VAT. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

What to tell us when you contact us

When you call or email, these details help:

  • Your timetable, such as an exchange date
  • Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
  • How the loft is reached, if there is one
  • Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work

A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Common questions in Terrick

Will you come out to Terrick?

Yes. Terrick is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Does a conservation area affect roof work in Terrick?

Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.

Do I need to be at home?

Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.

Do you look in the roof space?

Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.

Do you use drones?

Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.

Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?

No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.

How should I record storm damage myself?

Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.

For landlords and managing agents

Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.

For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.

Storm damage roof reports in Terrick: local notes

Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.

If you own a rental within reach of Little Kimble station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

How the survey works

A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It usually takes an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere like Terrick needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.

  1. We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
  2. We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
  3. We record and photograph the damage.
  4. The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
  5. You get a written report to pass to your insurer.

Preparing for the visit

  • Leave side gates unlocked
  • Jot down any questions you want answered
  • Check the loft hatch can be reached

When to book a survey in Terrick

Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. 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.

A survey can pick up problems like:

  • Damaged flat roof membrane
  • Damage from fallen branches or debris
  • Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
  • Damaged gutters and fascias

If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Friars Square, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

Before booking any roof surveyor

  • Their insurance cover
  • Their report turnaround times
  • How much experience they have with roofs like yours

What to expect from a roof survey

What we cannot see

A survey is a proper look at the roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:

  • Your insurer’s view of the claim
  • Areas we cannot see safely
  • Acting for you with the insurer

If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will recommend the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

What we check

  • Flat roofs
  • Ridges and hips
  • Slate and tile slopes
  • Gutters and fascias
  • Flashings
  • Chimney stacks

Different roofs, different checks

Ridge and hip tiles

Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.

Flat roof coverings

On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. We record any damage and where it is.
