How a storm damage roof report works in Danesfield
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you’re worried about slates and tiles blown off the roof and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Danesfield, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- House, block, shop or office
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Danesfield
Landlords and building managers frequently need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Lead lifted at abutments
For landlords with property near Marlow station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
What to check before booking
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- When you will get the report
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Common questions in Danesfield
Do you cover smaller places like Danesfield?
Yes, Danesfield 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 helps to know about access.
Is Danesfield in the area you cover?
Yes, Danesfield is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
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.
How long is the visit?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it isn’t resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.

Wind, rain and roofs in Danesfield
With Harleyford Manor about 0.6 miles south-east, Danesfield sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, 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 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’s detailed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Danesfield School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Danesfield means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it is worth knowing the roof’s condition.
