Storm damage roof report in Bradenham
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you’ve noticed damaged ridges and hips and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Bradenham, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

FAQs for Bradenham
Is Bradenham in the area you cover?
Yes, Bradenham is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bradenham?
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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You will then get the report by email.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Only from the ground or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Bradenham
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Water coming in after the storm
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Lead lifted at abutments
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Eden, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
Questions to ask before you book
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Are they insured for the work?

Bradenham roofs and the weather
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. The wider area around Bradenham has a long history of building, with West Wycombe Park House about 1.8 miles south. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Naphill and Walters Ash School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. The streets around a church such as Church of St Botolph are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Cottages and farmhouses around Bradenham often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
