Storm damage roof report in Pitchcott
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you’ve noticed loose or torn flashings and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, we can find out what’s behind it, on slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and ridges and hips alike.
Many homes in small places like Pitchcott face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as Pitchcott, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at 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.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
How to book
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

Storm damage roof reports in Pitchcott: local notes
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. The wider area around Pitchcott has a long history of building, with Waddesdon Manor about 3.7 miles south-west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Whitchurch Combined School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Pitchcott is about 4 miles north of Haydon Hill, in Buckinghamshire. Surveys in Pitchcott work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful look at everything that’s safely in view, photos and a clear written report.

Useful tips for Pitchcott property owners
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Common roof problems in Pitchcott
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
Common reasons to book include:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Loose or torn flashings
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St. Giles, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- When you’ll get the report
- Their insurance cover
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Questions from Pitchcott
Do you cover smaller places like Pitchcott?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Pitchcott?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There is no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
