Storm damage roof report in East Burnham: what you get
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. If you’ve noticed gaps where slates or tiles have gone and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like East Burnham, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear

With Cliveden about 2.8 miles west, East Burnham 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.

Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Checking the roof from ground level
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Common questions in East Burnham
Does a conservation area affect roof work in East Burnham?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you carry out roof surveys in East Burnham?
Yes, East Burnham is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in East Burnham as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
When to book a survey in East Burnham
Insurers frequently want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
Take a building like Caldicott School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
