How we price storm damage roof reports
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- House, block, shop or office
- The shape of the roof and its details
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What we need to know
We will normally ask about:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
About our storm damage roof report in Bockmer End
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. If you are worried about slipped or missing slates or tiles and damaged pots on the stack, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and fascias, flashings and ridges and hips alike.
For a small place like Bockmer End, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Storm damage roof reports around Bockmer End
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Historic houses such as Harleyford Manor, about 1 mile south-east, show how far back building in the area around Bockmer End goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
For hotels and guest houses around Bockmer End, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it pays to find faults before guests do. Take a building like Danesfield School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

What else we do in Bockmer End
Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Common questions in Bockmer End
Will you come out to Bockmer End?
Yes, Bockmer End is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Bockmer End in the area you cover?
Yes, Bockmer End is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Bockmer End as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
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. Our report can then add a clear record. Older and listed buildings around Bockmer End may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

How the survey works
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Bockmer End, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Booking a survey
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Bockmer End
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- New damp or leaks inside
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
