The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Being in a smaller place like Water Eaton does not change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Storm damage roof report in Water Eaton: what you get
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Typical surveys look at damaged flat roof membrane and loose or torn flashings, across ridges and hips, flashings and slate and tile slopes.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Water Eaton can let water in, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. It’s worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Check how your policy defines a storm
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
Water Eaton: your questions answered
Do you cover Water Eaton?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Water Eaton is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Water Eaton listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There’s no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.

Storm damage roof reports around Water Eaton
About 1 mile north-west lies Bletchley Park, a reminder of how long the area around Water Eaton has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Premier Academy, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. For an older house near a landmark such as Water Eaton Church Centre, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Living close to Waterhall Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
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.
What a storm damage roof report does not cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Areas we cannot see safely
