How a storm damage roof report works in Maids Moreton
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photos of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and gaps where slates or tiles have gone.
Somewhere as small as Maids Moreton, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We look at what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Why act early in Maids Moreton
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. For an older or listed building in a place like Maids Moreton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

How the survey changes by roof type

Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. We record any damage we can see.
Leaks and storm damage in Maids Moreton
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. The wider area around Maids Moreton has a long history of building, with Stowe House about 2.3 miles north-west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Maids Moreton Church of England School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Maids Moreton, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey

Related advice
What we are asked to look at in Maids Moreton
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Water coming in after the storm
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Loose or torn flashings
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
If you live in an older home near Church of St Edmund, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Maids Moreton
Do you carry out roof surveys in Maids Moreton?
Yes, Maids Moreton is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you cover smaller places like Maids Moreton?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The size of the roof
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- House, block, shop or office
Price depends partly on 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.
