After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. We photograph and describe each one.
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
About our storm damage roof report in Bucks Horn Oak
After a storm, it is useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you are worried about gutters pulled loose in the wind and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Bucks Horn Oak face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Bucks Horn Oak: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Bucks Horn Oak is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Bucks Horn Oak within the area you cover?
Yes. Bucks Horn Oak is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Does this replace a RICS home 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.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Why it is worth a survey now in Bucks Horn Oak

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. On timing, it normally takes an hour or two for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Bucks Horn Oak can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Check pets are kept safely away

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Bucks Horn Oak
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. With Farnham Castle about 3.9 miles north-east, Bucks Horn Oak sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. The streets around a church such as Saint James are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
