How we price storm damage roof reports
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- House, block, shop or office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The roof’s overall size
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
A few details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The address and postcode of the property
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Tilty
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We are often asked to look into slipped or missing slates or tiles and lead lifted at abutments, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Tilty, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
Why get it checked now?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. For an older or listed building in a place like Tilty, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take an hour or two for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around Tilty, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
