Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Pond Park
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and flashings, and people most often book us about flat roof edges peeled back and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks.
Older cottages and houses around Pond Park may have roofs with little or no underlay. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there’s little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Whether it’s long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are often the first clue.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The roof’s overall size
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

Common questions in Pond Park
Is Pond Park in the area you cover?
Yes, Pond Park is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Pond Park as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Pond Park within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Honest limits
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Acting for you with the insurer
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording

Common roof problems in Pond Park
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.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
If you look after a building such as Ivingswood Academy, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Pond Park
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. With Cholesbury Manor House about 3 miles north-west, Pond Park sits in an area with a long building history. 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 the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Amersham station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Pond Park is about 1 mile north of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire. Whether the building in Pond Park is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof. Pond Park is one of the towns and villages in Buckinghamshire we cover. For surveys nearby, see our Milton Keynes page.

A little further out are Hawridge Court (1.7 miles north) and Amersham Fair Organ Museum (2.9 miles south). For a walk, there is Sands Bank and Pavis Wood.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
How the survey works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Homes around Pond Park often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
