Broughton Crossing Storm Damage Roof Report
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Broughton Crossing. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Water coming in after the storm
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Broughton Crossing
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. If you’ve noticed new damp or leaks inside and roofs hit by falling trees, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, flashings and gutters and fascias alike.
Somewhere as small as Broughton Crossing, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Wind, rain and roofs in Broughton Crossing
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Anyone responsible for a site like Bierton Church of England Combined School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Shop and office owners around Friars Square may find that a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Broughton Crossing is about 1 mile east of Elmhurst, in Buckinghamshire.

The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Broughton Crossing, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Getting a price
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Advice
Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
How we price storm damage roof reports
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Roof area
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What to let us know when you contact us
Some details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.
Broughton Crossing: your questions answered
Is my home in Broughton Crossing listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Broughton Crossing within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Broughton Crossing?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
For landlords and managing agents
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof.
Why get it checked now?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from ground level if it is safe. That keeps a record of how it looked. Around Broughton Crossing, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
