Storm Damage Roof Report in Kingsash
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Kingsash, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Water coming in after the storm
What happens on the day
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take between one and two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as Kingsash, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Storm damage roof report in Kingsash: what you get
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We’re frequently asked to look into damaged pots on the stack and damage from fallen branches or debris, across chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Kingsash, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We look at whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Kingsash
Is my home in Kingsash 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Kingsash?
Yes, Kingsash is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Storm damage roof reports in Kingsash: local notes
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The wider area around Kingsash has a long history of building, with Cholesbury Manor House about 2.7 miles east. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Take an older house close to Old Church of St John the Baptist: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you own a rental within reach of Wendover station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Take a building like Wendover House School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Kingsash is about 5 miles north-west of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire. Roofs in Kingsash get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Buckinghamshire. Kingsash is one of the places in Buckinghamshire where we work. Milton Keynes is in our area too.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Do not go up a ladder to look.
When you need someone else
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- Areas we cannot see safely
- How your policy defines a storm
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Kingsash
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
