Not sure what state the roof is in? You can book a storm damage roof report in Forty Green and across Buckinghamshire.
- Broken or displaced guttering

Tips from our surveys
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
Storm damage roof report in Forty Green: what you get
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. It is yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. We survey flashings, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias, and people most often book us about ridge tiles that have come loose and damaged gutters and fascias.
Roofs in small places like Forty Green frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles

Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, especially where the nails have corroded. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Forty Green
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a hamlet or village like Forty Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Storm damage roof reports in Forty Green: local notes
About 4.1 miles south lies Cliveden, a reminder of how long the area around Forty Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
The streets around a church like Church of St Michael and All Angels are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you let a flat or house near Beaconsfield station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holtspur School & Pre-School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

FAQs for Forty Green
How do I find out if my home in Forty Green is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is Forty Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Forty Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How do I book a survey in Forty Green?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
There is no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Why it is worth a survey now in Forty Green
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Outbuildings and barns around Forty Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
