Storm damage roof report in Loosley Row: what you get
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It is yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. We survey chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and flashings, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and water coming in after the storm.
In a village or hamlet like Loosley Row, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What happens if roof problems are left?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. Those photos show the damage as it was. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Loosley Row, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. We record which are damaged and where.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails often fail first. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.

Loosley Row roofs and the weather
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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. About 3.9 miles south lies West Wycombe Park House, a reminder of how long the area around Loosley Row has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St John the Evangelist, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. For landlords with property near Saunderton station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take a building like St John's Church of England Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Older roofs in small places like Loosley Row can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
