Storm damage roof report in Cadmore End
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. If you are worried about loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Cadmore End, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Older and listed buildings around Cadmore End may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

Storm damage roof reports in Cadmore End: local notes
Historic houses such as West Wycombe Park House, about 2.8 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Cadmore End goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary Le Moor: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. For landlords with property near Saunderton station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Useful tips for Cadmore End property owners
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Check your policy for how to report damage

Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Common questions in Cadmore End
Will you come out to Cadmore End?
Yes, Cadmore End is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is my home in Cadmore End listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it isn’t resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it as you book and we will explain what’s needed.
What happens on the day
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Cadmore End can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
