Storm damage roof report in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire
Find out the condition of the roof at your property in Aylesbury. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In busier parts of Aylesbury, parking can be tight, so tell us about driveways, permits or nearby car parks. On the day, we look at the roof from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets in another room
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Aylesbury
After a storm, it helps 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 aren’t loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We survey flat roofs, ridges and hips and chimney stacks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and damaged pots on the stack.
A place the size of Aylesbury has every kind of roof, so leaks have many possible sources: failed flashings, blocked valleys, slipped slates, worn mortar, overflowing gutters or a split felt roof. Water often shows up some way from where it got in, which is why the inside and outside are looked at together. Moisture readings and a close look outside help trace where the water has travelled.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why act early in Aylesbury
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. In commercial buildings and blocks around Aylesbury, water through the roof costs more than the repair itself. It’s easier to plan work than to react to it.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- Visits on any day of the week
- Package prices that include VAT
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- A written report with photos

Common roof problems in Aylesbury
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Common reasons to book include:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged gutters and fascias
If you own a rental within reach of Aylesbury station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Before booking anyone
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Are they insured for the work?

Useful tips for Aylesbury property owners
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Storm damage roof reports in Aylesbury: local notes
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Shop and office owners around Friars Square may find that a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. Anyone responsible for a site like Buckinghamshire UTC will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Aylesbury: your questions answered
What do I need to do before a survey in Aylesbury?
Clear the way to the loft hatch if there is one, and tell us about any leaks, stains or past repairs. Let us know about parking and access in Aylesbury too.
How do I find out if my home in Aylesbury is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Do you use drones?
Where it is 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.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
