Storm Damage Roof Report in Radnage
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Radnage, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Loose or torn flashings
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
It’s useful 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.
Storm damage roof report in Radnage
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a photo-illustrated written report to give to your insurer. Common reasons to book are slates and tiles blown off the roof and roofs hit by falling trees, across flat roofs, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks.
Being in a small place like Radnage makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It usually takes between one and two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Radnage, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at 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.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Radnage
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People typically call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Questions to ask before booking
- What experience they bring
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Radnage
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. The wider area around Radnage has a long history of building, with West Wycombe Park House about 3.2 miles south-east. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as Radnage Church of England Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Landlords with a home close to Saunderton station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.

Radnage questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Radnage?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Radnage?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Radnage is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
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.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
