Detailed written reports and quotes for your home insurance claim. Photos, repair specifications and itemised costings — everything your insurer needs.
If your roof has been damaged and you're claiming on your home insurance, the most important thing is having a roofer who can produce the documentation your insurer needs. CJH Roofing provides free inspections, written reports with photos, and itemised repair quotes that you submit to your insurance company. We focus on the technical side — diagnosing the damage, documenting it properly, and quoting fairly — so you have everything you need to make a clean claim. We don't manage the insurance correspondence on your behalf; that relationship stays between you and your insurer. If your insurer sends a loss adjuster, we're happy to discuss our findings with them directly if you'd like — though that's usually optional. We'll also tell you honestly whether claiming is worth the excess and the no-claims hit, before you commit.
Inspection, photographs, written report and itemised quote in one package — formatted for an insurer file.
Plain-English description of what we found, probable cause, and what's needed to put it right.
Dated photographs of every area of damage from up close and in context, suitable for submission with your claim.
Materials by name, labour and access broken out, VAT shown separately. Same prices as private work — no insurance mark-up.
If a loss adjuster visits, we can talk them through the report and answer technical questions. Optional — most straightforward claims don't need it.
Tarp-over, ridge securing or temporary patching while the claim is approved — keeps the property watertight without prejudicing the claim.
Once your insurer approves, we carry out the agreed work with photographs of the finished job for your file.
We'll tell you before you call your insurer whether the repair is likely worth claiming, given your excess and no-claims position.
We come out, climb up, take photos and explain what we find in plain English. No charge, no follow-up sales calls.
Itemised, fixed-price quote within 48 hours. Materials specified by name. No hidden extras on the day.
Agreed date booked, fully scaffolded where needed, all materials delivered to site before we start.
10-year workmanship guarantee, site swept clean, after-photos sent before we collect payment.
