Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Hunt's Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hunt's Green?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. 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.
Will you come out to Hunt's Green?
Yes, Hunt's Green is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
How a storm damage roof report works in Hunt's Green
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 can’t say whether a claim will be paid. We’re frequently asked to look into ridge tiles that have come loose and broken or displaced guttering, on chimney stacks, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
Roofs in small places like Hunt's Green often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Leaks and storm damage in Hunt's Green
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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Historic houses such as Cholesbury Manor House, about 2.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Hunt's Green 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Lee Common Church of England School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. The streets around a church such as Old Church of St John the Baptist are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you let a flat or house near Great Missenden station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Hunt's Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
