Storm damage roof report in Hundridge, Buckinghamshire
Find out the condition of the roof at your property in Hundridge. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Water coming in after the storm
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
Leave it or get it looked at?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. Those photos show the damage as it was. Older and listed buildings around Hundridge may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Hundridge
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. You get a report with photographs to give to your insurer. We are often asked to look into slipped or missing slates or tiles and stains appearing after strong winds, on gutters and fascias, flashings and slate and tile slopes.
For a small place like Hundridge, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Hundridge roofs and the weather
Historic houses like Cholesbury Manor House, about 3.4 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Hundridge goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you let a flat or house near Great Missenden station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The roof’s overall size
- Which survey package you book
- Height and safe access
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
Booking your survey
We’ll typically ask about:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Anything about access we should know
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
When to book a survey in Hundridge
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, with photos.
Common reasons to book include:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Hyde Heath Infant School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Hundridge, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Arrange a survey

Advice
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Do not go up a ladder to look.
Roof by roof
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.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Common questions in Hundridge
Is my home in Hundridge listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Hundridge in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
How do I book a survey in Hundridge?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
