Storm damage roof report in Dunton
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you are worried about loose or torn flashings and roofs hit by falling trees, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Dunton, older roofs have frequently 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 check whatever is safely visible 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.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Checking the roof from the ground
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Dunton
Will you come out to Dunton?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is my home in Dunton listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The report is sent afterwards by email.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when you book.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Dunton, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Leaks and storm damage in Dunton
Historic houses like Ascott House, about 4.4 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Dunton goes. If your house is among 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. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Martin, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
