Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Upper Farringdon
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey flat roofs, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged flat roof membrane and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
Many homes in small places like Upper Farringdon face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails frequently fail first. We look at whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
Common roof problems in Upper Farringdon
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

FAQs for Upper Farringdon

Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
