Storm damage roof report in Coombe, Buckinghamshire
Storm damage roof reports in Coombe and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Surveys run on any day of the week.
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Stains appearing after strong winds
What happens if roof problems are left?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. That keeps a record of how it looked. In a place like Coombe, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Surveys on any day of the week

About our storm damage roof report in Coombe
After a storm, it is useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We’re often asked to look into roofs hit by falling trees and damaged pots on the stack, on ridges and hips, flashings and slate and tile slopes.
For a small place like Coombe, 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. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Coombe needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, particularly where the nails have corroded. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Chimney stacks
High winds can loosen pots, cowls and aerials on stacks. The report notes any damage to the stack.

Coombe roofs and the weather
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. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as Great Kimble Church of England School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you let a flat or house near Little Kimble station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Coombe
Do you cover Coombe?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Is my home in Coombe listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That is not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.

What to let us know when you get in touch
What helps most when you contact us:

- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors

What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
