Common questions in Latimer
Is Latimer in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Latimer is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property.
Do you cover smaller places like Latimer?
Yes, Latimer is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when you book.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
What if the roof was already worn?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Latimer
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. Common reasons to book are gutters pulled loose in the wind and flat roof edges peeled back, on chimney stacks, flashings and ridges and hips.
For a small place like Latimer, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Latimer
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Latimer. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
When you need someone else
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- A price for the repairs
- A decision on your insurance claim
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Latimer can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Latimer frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- 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.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Wind, rain and roofs in Latimer
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. Chenies Manor House, about 1.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Latimer. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Anyone responsible for a site like Little Chalfont Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you own a rental within reach of Chalfont & Latimer station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
