Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Fairford Leys
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
For an older house near a landmark such as Fairford Leys Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
What to check before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- Their report turnaround times
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What happens after the report arrives
Storm damage roof report in Fairford Leys: what you get
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a photo-illustrated written report to give to your insurer. If you’ve noticed damage from fallen branches or debris and damaged flat roof membrane, we can find out what’s behind it.
Houses in smaller places like Fairford Leys can stand more in the open, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. Let us know when it happens when you get in touch. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Fairford Leys

Common questions in Fairford Leys
Will you come out to Fairford Leys?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Fairford Leys?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Fairford Leys is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Only from the ground or from windows. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Wind, rain and roofs in Fairford Leys
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Historic houses such as Waddesdon Manor, about 4.6 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Fairford Leys goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Friars Square, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. Take a building like St Mary's Church of England School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from ground level if it is safe. Those photos show the damage as it was. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Fairford Leys, so it is useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. We photograph and describe each one.
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. We photograph any we find.
