Storm damage roof report in Hyde Heath
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you’ve noticed flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it, on gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and chimney stacks alike.
Roofs in small places like Hyde Heath often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What affects the price in Hyde Heath
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- How big the roof is
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Anything about access we should know
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Honest limits
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Negotiating a claim settlement
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.

FAQs for Hyde Heath
Do you cover smaller places like Hyde Heath?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Hyde Heath is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We aren’t loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
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.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t 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 is disturbed.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Hyde Heath
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a small place like Hyde Heath, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Leaks and storm damage in Hyde Heath
Cholesbury Manor House, about 4.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hyde Heath. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For landlords with property near Amersham station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hyde Heath Infant School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you live in an older home near Parish church of Saint John the Baptist, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
