How a storm damage roof report works in Bow Brickhill
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you are worried about damage from fallen branches or debris and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Bow Brickhill, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
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.

When to book a survey in Bow Brickhill
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- New damp or leaks inside
If you look after a building such as Bow Brickhill CofE VA Primary School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Bow Brickhill: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bow Brickhill?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Bow Brickhill is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bow Brickhill?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. 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.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Bow Brickhill, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.

The streets around a church like Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
