Storm damage roof report in Bennett End
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We survey slate and tile slopes, flashings and flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are slates and tiles blown off the roof and holes or cracks caused by debris.
Many homes in small places like Bennett End 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 photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Bennett End
Is Bennett End within the area you cover?
Yes, Bennett End is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bennett End?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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 should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
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.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Do not go up a ladder to look.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Bennett End
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.

Why act early in Bennett End
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Bennett End, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Bennett End roofs and the weather
Historic houses such as West Wycombe Park House, about 3.4 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Bennett End goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you own a rental within reach of Saunderton station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
