How a storm damage roof report works in Aston Clinton
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. Typical surveys look at damaged ridges and hips and damaged gutters and fascias, on ridges and hips, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias.
In older homes around places like Aston Clinton, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there is little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Finding where it gets in, and whether it’s old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are often the first clue.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Aston Clinton roofs and the weather
The wider area around Aston Clinton has a long history of building, with Cholesbury Manor House about 4.5 miles south-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
The streets around a church like St Michael and All Angels Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Landlords with a home close to Stoke Mandeville station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We look at whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
