Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings

Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Bisham
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We’re often asked to look into damaged pots on the stack and ridge tiles that have come loose, on flashings, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes.
Many homes in small places like Bisham face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What else we do in Bisham
What happens if roof problems are left?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. An independent report can follow. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why us?
- Photos and a written report every time
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- Surveys seven days a week

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- File receipts for anything you pay for
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Bisham
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. About 1.5 miles west lies Harleyford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Bisham has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Bisham Church of England Academy, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you own a rental within reach of Marlow station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

What we check
- Gutters and fascias
- Slate and tile slopes
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
- Ridges and hips
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older roofs in small places like Bisham can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Advice
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Bisham
How do I find out if my home in Bisham is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Bisham in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Bisham as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Checking the roof from the ground
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
