Nether Winchendon Storm Damage Roof Report
Storm damage roof reports around Nether Winchendon, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Loose or torn flashings
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
How a storm damage roof report works in Nether Winchendon
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey slate and tile slopes, flashings and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are new damp or leaks inside and broken or displaced guttering.
Somewhere as small as Nether Winchendon, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We check whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Nether Winchendon
About 2.5 miles north lies Waddesdon Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Nether Winchendon 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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
The streets around a church like Parish Church of St Nicholas are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you own a rental within reach of Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cuddington and Dinton CofE School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Nether Winchendon questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Nether Winchendon?
Yes, Nether Winchendon is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Nether Winchendon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit usually takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Nether Winchendon, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
