Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Haddenham
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. If you’ve noticed loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and gutters pulled loose in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it.
Around Haddenham, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it is not always obvious where it starts. It’s worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
FAQs for Haddenham
Do you cover Haddenham?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Haddenham is listed?
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 do I book a survey in Haddenham?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.

Why act early in Haddenham
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. Around Haddenham, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Haddenham roofs and the weather
With Waddesdon Manor about 4.9 miles north, Haddenham 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. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
The streets around a church like Parish Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Haddenham Community Infant School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you own a rental within reach of Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. A visit to Haddenham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Tell us about parking before the day

Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
What this survey cannot tell you
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- The outcome of a claim
- Estimates of repair costs
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
