About our storm damage roof report in Twyford
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. We are often asked to look into loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and holes or cracks caused by debris, on slate and tile slopes, flashings and flat roofs.
Many homes in small places like Twyford face open ground, 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 record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Twyford
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Twyford?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Twyford?
Yes, Twyford is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
What we are asked to look at in Twyford
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
Take a building like Twyford C of E School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Leaks and storm damage in Twyford
Claydon House, about 3.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Twyford. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.

What we do, step by step
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Twyford, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us 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 is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- File receipts for anything you pay for
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
Checking the roof from ground level
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
