Why it is worth a survey now in Hawridge
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is usually better. For older village homes like those around Hawridge, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.

Storm damage roof report in Hawridge: what you get
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. We survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged flat roof membrane and new damp or leaks inside.
For a small place like Hawridge, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Hawridge: your questions answered
Is Hawridge within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you cover Hawridge?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Hawridge is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we will record the rest.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Wind, rain and roofs in Hawridge
About 0.9 miles west lies Cholesbury Manor House, a reminder of how long the area around Hawridge has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hawridge and Cholesbury Church of England School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. For landlords with property near Berkhamsted station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Other services in Hawridge
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Hawridge?
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Loose or torn flashings
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Before you book anyone
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Which limits apply to the survey
Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Hawridge, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
