Storm damage roof report in Hedsor: what you get
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems like corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We are often asked to look into slates and tiles blown off the roof and broken or displaced guttering, on ridges and hips, flat roofs and chimney stacks.
For a small place like Hedsor, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Hedsor
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. Your insurer still makes the decision.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Damaged ridges and hips
Take an older house close to Cores End United Reformed Church: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Questions to ask before you book

- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What insurance they carry

Storm damage roof reports in Hedsor: local notes
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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Historic houses such as Cliveden, about 1.1 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Hedsor goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Bourne End station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take a building like St Paul's Church of England Combined School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes an hour or two at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere like Hedsor needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.

Advice
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. The report notes any damage to the stack.
For landlords and managing agents
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Hedsor
Will you come out to Hedsor?
Yes, Hedsor is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hedsor?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email.
Do you look in the roof space?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Leave it or get it looked at?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for your survey before booking.
