About our storm damage roof report in Ledborough
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flashings, and people most frequently book us about damaged ridges and hips and gaps where slates or tiles have gone.
Being in a small place like Ledborough makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: 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, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around Ledborough can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- You let us know 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 the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

What happens if roof problems are left?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is typically better. For older village homes like those around Ledborough, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why us?
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable

How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. We photograph and describe the damage.
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
When to book a survey in Ledborough
Landlords and building managers frequently need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Loose or torn flashings
- Damaged gutters and fascias
If you look after a building like St Mary and All Saints CofE Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
What to check before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What follow-up you get after the report
Useful tips for Ledborough property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Keep receipts for any emergency work

- Photograph damage inside the house too
If you’re unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.

Common questions in Ledborough
Is Ledborough within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Ledborough is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies do not 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.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
Leaks and storm damage in Ledborough
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. About 4.6 miles south-west lies Cliveden, a reminder of how long the area around Ledborough has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Michael and All Angels, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. Landlords with a home close to Beaconsfield station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
