Storm damage roof report in Little Kimble: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a report with photos to give to your insurer. We are often asked to look into holes or cracks caused by debris and new damp or leaks inside, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flat roofs.
Being in a small place like Little Kimble makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Little Kimble
To price your survey, we look at:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- House, block, shop or office
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Leave it or get it looked at?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. We record storm damage and older defects, so there are no surprises later. In a small place like Little Kimble, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why book with us
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- 20+ years’ experience
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Leaks and storm damage in Little Kimble
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Friars Square, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. Take a building like Great Kimble Church of England School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. For landlords with property near Little Kimble station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Little Kimble frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.

Questions from Little Kimble
Is Little Kimble in the area you cover?
Yes, Little Kimble is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Little Kimble?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
