Leaks and storm damage in Calvert
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. About 2.1 miles east lies Claydon House, a reminder of how long the area around Calvert has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Michael, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

About our storm damage roof report in Calvert
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We don’t decide whether a storm met that test. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. The claim decision rests with your insurer. Common reasons to book are slates and tiles blown off the roof and water coming in after the storm, on flashings, chimney stacks and ridges and hips.
Being in a small place like Calvert makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Calvert, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Calvert: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Calvert?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Will you come out to Calvert?
Yes. Calvert 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 you book.
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 check your own wording.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it’s clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Calvert?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we will record the rest.
