Storm damage roof report in Wick Hill: what you get
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We are often asked to look into flat roof edges peeled back and roofs hit by falling trees, across flashings, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes.
In a smaller place like Wick Hill, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather frequently points to an exposed detail. It helps to know when and where the water appears. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Wick Hill?
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Broken or displaced guttering
For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What insurance they carry
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether you get a written report with photos

Wick Hill questions
Are flat-roofed garages and porches in Wick Hill worth including?
Typically, yes: tell us about it when you book so the visit can include it. Flat-roofed garages and porches are common in new towns like Bracknell, and older felt coverings may be near the end of their life.
Will you come out to Wick Hill?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
How do I book a survey in Wick Hill?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It does not include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Leaks and storm damage in Wick Hill
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Lexicon, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. Landlords with a home close to Bracknell station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
