Storm damage roof report in Naphill
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It’s a written report with photographs, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Typical surveys look at gaps where slates or tiles have gone and roofs hit by falling trees, on flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and flashings.
In a village or hamlet like Naphill, older cottages and farmhouses often 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. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Storm damage roof reports in Naphill: local notes
With Hughenden Manor about 1.5 miles south-east, Naphill sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For businesses in and around places such as Eden, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. Take a building like Naphill and Walters Ash School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Naphill is about 3 miles north-west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. In Naphill, as across Buckinghamshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Across Buckinghamshire, we cover Naphill. Reading is in our area too.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
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. Don’t go up yourself.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Naphill
Do you carry out roof surveys in Naphill?
Yes, Naphill is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Naphill listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
What do I do if water is coming in?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
How do I book a survey in Naphill?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. 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.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Naphill?
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Loose or torn flashings
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
Take an older house close to Church of St Botolph: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as Naphill, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
