Storm Damage Roof Report in Padbury
We carry out storm damage roof reports in Padbury and the rest of Buckinghamshire. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Loose or torn flashings
DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
About our storm damage roof report in Padbury
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. Common reasons to book are torn or lifted flat roof coverings and gutters pulled loose in the wind, across flashings, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
For a small place like Padbury, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Storm damage roof reports around Padbury
About 3.3 miles south lies Claydon House, a reminder of how long the area around Padbury has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Anyone responsible for a site like Padbury Church of England School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Padbury is about 2 miles south-east of Buckingham, in Buckinghamshire. From houses to flats and shops in Padbury, we can survey the roof. Our area takes in places right across Buckinghamshire, large and small. For surveys nearby, see our Milton Keynes page.
Surveys in MK18 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. We offer storm damage roof reports to properties on Main Street, Lower Way and Old Springfields and the roads around them. Nearby, we also carry out storm damage roof reports in Adstock (1 mile east), Buckingham (2 miles north-west), Thornborough (2 miles north-east), Steeple Claydon (3 miles south-west) and Middle Claydon (3 miles south).

Why act early in Padbury
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. An independent report can follow. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Padbury, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Why us?

What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a hamlet or village like Padbury, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know about parking near the property
Booking a survey
When you are ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Which survey package you book
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The size of the roof
- Height and safe access
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Unsure which package suits your roof? It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
Padbury: your questions answered
Is my home in Padbury 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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Padbury?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Padbury is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That is not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the wind. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. We photograph and describe each one.
