Lamport Storm Damage Roof Report
Storm damage roof reports in Lamport from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys.
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Damaged pots on the stack
The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes an hour or two for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere like Lamport needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

About our storm damage roof report in Lamport
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We survey gutters and fascias, flashings and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
For a small place like Lamport, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Why get it checked now?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, so you are not relying only on your own photos. In a place like Lamport, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Storm damage roof reports in Lamport: local notes
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Stowe House, about 0.9 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Lamport. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Trees in and around Stowe Park and Garden shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. The streets around a church such as Parish Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Take a building like Akeley Wood Senior School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Common questions in Lamport
Is Lamport within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is Lamport in the area you cover?
Yes, Lamport is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
A lifted ridge tile can let water into the roof. We photograph and describe the damage.
Slate roofs
Slates frequently outlast the nails that hold them. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
