About our storm damage roof report in Turners Hill
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you’ve noticed loose or torn flashings and damaged gutters and fascias, we can find out what’s behind it, on slate and tile slopes, flashings and flat roofs alike.
Roofs in small places like Turners Hill often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

The visit normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit.
