Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Dadford
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. If you’ve noticed flat roof edges peeled back and damaged gutters and fascias, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings, chimney stacks and flat roofs alike.
For a small place like Dadford, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Dadford: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Dadford is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Dadford?
Yes, Dadford is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Dadford as anywhere else.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That’s 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 wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
Why act early in Dadford
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.

Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. Each gap is recorded with a photo.

Storm damage roof reports in Dadford: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 0.8 miles south-east lies Stowe House, a reminder of how long the area around Dadford has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Homes near green spaces such as Stowe Park and Garden can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Parish Church of St Mary, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older rural homes like those around Dadford can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- 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.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
