About our storm damage roof report in Jordans
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. Common reasons to book are lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and damaged flat roof membrane, across chimney stacks, flat roofs and flashings.
Many homes in small places like Jordans face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.

Common roof problems in Jordans
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged flat roof membrane
If you live in an older home near Church of Holy Trinity, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Wind, rain and roofs in Jordans
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Chenies Manor House, about 5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Jordans. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like Jordans School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. For landlords with property near Seer Green & Jordans station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
