Storm Damage Roof Report in North Marston
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in North Marston. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in North Marston
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you’re worried about damaged gutters and fascias and holes or cracks caused by debris, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like North Marston, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. In a small place like North Marston, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in North Marston
Does a conservation area affect roof work in North Marston?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover North Marston?
Yes, North Marston is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
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 we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. Each one is recorded with photos.
Common roof problems in North Marston
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Flat roof edges peeled back
If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What they will not be able to tell you
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Are they insured for the work?
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around North Marston often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Tell us about parking before the day
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

What a storm damage roof report looks like in North Marston
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. With Claydon House about 3.8 miles north-west, North Marston sits in an area with a long building history. 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.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Anyone responsible for a site like North Marston Church of England School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
