Adstock Storm Damage Roof Report
Know where you stand with the roof before you decide what to do next. Storm damage roof reports in Adstock, with photos and a clear written report.
- New damp or leaks inside
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Photograph damage inside the house too
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
How a storm damage roof report works in Adstock
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey gutters and fascias, flat roofs and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged pots on the stack and new damp or leaks inside.
Being in a small place like Adstock makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Adstock
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Questions from Adstock
How do I find out if my home in Adstock is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Adstock?
Yes, Adstock is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Common roof problems in Adstock
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Common reasons to book include:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Water coming in after the storm
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Damaged gutters and fascias
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Cecilia, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
What happens on the day
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. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Adstock, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Getting a price
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Wind, rain and roofs in Adstock
The wider area around Adstock has a long history of building, with Claydon House about 3.2 miles south. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Padbury Church of England School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
