How a storm damage roof report works in Chalfont Common
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We survey flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks, and people most frequently book us about torn or lifted flat roof coverings and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
Somewhere as small as Chalfont Common, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Questions from Chalfont Common
Is Chalfont Common in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Chalfont Common is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Chalfont Common is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
What we do, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as Chalfont Common, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- 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.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Chalfont Common
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. The wider area around Chalfont Common has a long history of building, with Chenies Manor House about 3.8 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church like St Paul's are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you own a rental within reach of Gerrards Cross station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
