The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Wickhambreaux, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Storm damage roof report in Wickhambreaux
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is 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. We’re often asked to look into flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and new damp or leaks inside, across flashings, flat roofs and ridges and hips.
Somewhere as small as Wickhambreaux, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We look at whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What we are asked to look at in Wickhambreaux
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, with photographs.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Loose or torn flashings
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Wickhambreaux: your questions answered
Do you cover Wickhambreaux?
Yes, Wickhambreaux is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Wickhambreaux?
Yes. Wickhambreaux is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. 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.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take between one and two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You’ll then get the report by email.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Wickhambreaux?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Wickhambreaux
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run seven days a week, which can make access easier.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. An independent report can follow. For an older or listed building in a place like Wickhambreaux, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
