Storm damage roof report in Bellingdon: what you get
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. 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 can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We’re frequently asked to look into damaged gutters and fascias and roofs hit by falling trees, on flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks.
Many homes in small places like Bellingdon face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Bellingdon
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Water coming in after the storm
For an older house near a landmark such as St John's Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Bellingdon
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. With Cholesbury Manor House about 1.2 miles north-west, Bellingdon sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as Hawridge and Cholesbury Church of England School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you let a flat or house near Berkhamsted station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Questions from Bellingdon
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bellingdon?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to Bellingdon?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
What we do, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, it typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Bellingdon, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Checking the roof from the ground
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
