Knotty Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Knotty Green?
Yes, Knotty Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Knotty Green?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Storm damage roof report in Knotty Green
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We are often asked to look into new damp or leaks inside and damaged gutters and fascias, across ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Knotty Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. We look at everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

For landlords and managing agents
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
What we are asked to look at in Knotty Green
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
The streets around a church like Church of St Michael and All Angels are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Photograph the damage safely from below
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Slates frequently outlast the nails that hold them. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Storm damage roof reports around Knotty Green
With Cliveden about 4.6 miles south, Knotty Green sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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 Beaconsfield station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Anyone responsible for a site like St Mary and All Saints CofE Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Knotty Green, 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.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Check pets are kept safely away
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
