Storm damage roof reports in Newyears Green: local notes
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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Ickenham Hall, about 1.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Newyears Green. 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.
Homes near green spaces like Church Field Gardens can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. For landlords with property near West Ruislip station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Newyears Green
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems like corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We are often asked to look into damage from fallen branches or debris and damaged ridges and hips, across chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Newyears Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, particularly 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.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What we are asked to look at in Newyears Green
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Water coming in after the storm
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
Shop and office owners around The Chimes may find that finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
What to check before booking
- What follow-up you get after the report
- When you will get the report
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Is VAT included in the price?
Before and after the survey
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Questions from Newyears Green
Is Newyears Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Newyears Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Newyears Green in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Newyears Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How do I book a survey in Newyears Green?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Rural addresses near Newyears Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey

Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Why act early in Newyears Green
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. In a small place like Newyears Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
