About our storm damage roof report in Lacey Green
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you’ve noticed holes or cracks caused by debris and stains appearing after strong winds, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and flashings alike.
Somewhere as small as Lacey Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We check what can safely be seen 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.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Lacey Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. We record which are damaged and where.
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Lacey Green
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- How big the roof is
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What we can’t see
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Estimates of repair costs
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
- Gutters and fascias
What happens if roof problems are left?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so you know what the roof shows. Around Lacey Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

Lacey Green questions
Is Lacey Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Lacey Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Lacey Green as anywhere else.
Will you come out to Lacey Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
For landlords and managing agents
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Storm damage roof reports in Lacey Green: 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. About 3.8 miles south lies West Wycombe Park House, a reminder of how long the area around Lacey Green has been built on. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Saunderton station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. For site and facilities teams at buildings like St John's Church of England Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Take an older house close to Church of St John the Evangelist: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
