How a storm damage roof report works in Clayhill
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Typical surveys look at slates and tiles blown off the roof and damaged gutters and fascias, across flashings, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
Somewhere as small as Clayhill, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We look at whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Wind, rain and roofs in Clayhill
The wider area around Clayhill has a long history of building, with West Wycombe Park House about 2.3 miles north. If your home is one of the older ones, 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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often 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.
Take an older house close to Church of Christ the Servant King: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Landlords with a home close to High Wycombe station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Take a building like Cressex Community School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Clayhill, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.

Clayhill: your questions answered
Is Clayhill in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Clayhill is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Do you cover smaller places like Clayhill?
Yes, Clayhill is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from ground level or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we will record the rest.
How do I book a survey in Clayhill?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is typically better. Outbuildings and barns around Clayhill are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

Useful tips for Clayhill property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Photograph damage inside the house too
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
