Storm damage roof report in Burroughs Grove
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you’re worried about ridge tiles that have come loose and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Burroughs Grove, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What affects the price in Burroughs Grove
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Which survey package you book
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. On timing, most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as Burroughs Grove, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

FAQs for Burroughs Grove
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burroughs Grove?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Burroughs Grove?
Yes, Burroughs Grove is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
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 cannot predict the outcome.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
How do I book a survey in Burroughs Grove?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Storm damage roof reports around Burroughs Grove
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Historic houses such as Harleyford Manor, about 3.3 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Burroughs Grove goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Eden, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. For landlords with property near Marlow station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Mary the Virgin, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Useful tips for Burroughs Grove property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
