About our storm damage roof report in Green Hailey
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Typical surveys look at holes or cracks caused by debris and loose or torn flashings, across gutters and fascias, flashings and ridges and hips.
For a small place like Green Hailey, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

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 will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a small place like Green Hailey, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Leave it or get it looked at?
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. Our report gives an honest view of both, so there are no surprises later. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Green Hailey, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

- Surveys seven days a week
- An independent look at the roof

Leaks and storm damage in Green Hailey
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. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
Take an older house close to Church of St Dunstan: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you look after a building such as Monks Risborough CofE Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Common questions in Green Hailey
Do you cover Green Hailey?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Green Hailey is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Green Hailey?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You will then get the report by email.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That is not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
How do I book a survey in Green Hailey?
Simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Common roof problems in Green Hailey
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
Landlords with a home close to Monks Risborough station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether the price includes VAT
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
