Storm damage roof report in Amersham
After a storm, it is useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’re worried about water coming in after the storm and flat roof edges peeled back, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias alike.
Strong winds lift loose tiles, slates and ridge pieces in towns like Amersham as anywhere. What counts as a storm depends on your policy; many use gusts of around 55 mph. Photos and a written account help you show what happened, whether to an insurer or a roofer. Policies usually exclude wear and tear, which is why the age of the damage matters.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

For landlords and managing agents
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. We photograph each gap.
Ridge and hip tiles
A lifted ridge tile can let water into the roof. We photograph and describe the damage.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- House, block, shop or office
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we will tell you which fits.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
To get a price for storm damage roof reports in Amersham, ring 07833 053749 or email us. The address, the type of property and what you want to find out help us give you an accurate price.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. A survey in Amersham needs access inside and out, including the loft hatch and any rooms with damp. If there is a side gate or a rear garden, let us know how to reach it. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Useful tips for Amersham property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
If you’re unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Amersham questions
Is Amersham in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Amersham is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Amersham?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Start by complaining to the insurer. 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.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How do I book a survey in Amersham?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
What else we do in Amersham
Wind, rain and roofs in Amersham
The wider area around Amersham has a long history of building, with Chenies Manor House about 3 miles east. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
The streets around a church such as St. Michael and All Angels are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. For hotels and guest houses around Amersham, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition.
