How a storm damage roof report works in Middle Claydon
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. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Common reasons to book are damaged ridges and hips and broken or displaced guttering, on flat roofs, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias.
Roofs in small places like Middle Claydon often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Middle Claydon: your questions answered
Is my home in Middle Claydon listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Middle Claydon?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
How long will you be at the property?

Useful tips for Middle Claydon property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Wind can pull the flashings away from a chimney. Loose flashings are recorded.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
What we do, step by step
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes about one to two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Middle Claydon, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

Wind, rain and roofs in Middle Claydon
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Historic houses such as Claydon House, about 0.3 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Middle Claydon goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a building like East Claydon Church of England School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
