Storm damage roof report in Hedgerley Green
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you’ve noticed loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and loose or torn flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Hedgerley Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We look at what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
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.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Hedgerley Green
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Damaged ridges and hips
For landlords with property near Gerrards Cross station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. We record any damage and where it is.
Hedgerley Green: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hedgerley Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Hedgerley Green in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Hedgerley Green is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. On timing, it typically takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Hedgerley Green, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Getting a price
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Hedgerley Green roofs and the weather
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. With Cliveden about 4.5 miles west, Hedgerley Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you look after a building like Gayhurst School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

What affects the price in Hedgerley Green
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- House, block, shop or office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How big the roof is
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What to tell us when you get in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, alongside any photos you took yourself. Older and listed buildings around Hedgerley Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
