How are storm damage reports priced?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
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 check your own wording.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we cannot predict the outcome.
About our storm damage roof report in Rout's Green
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. If you’re worried about flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and flat roof edges peeled back, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and hips, chimney stacks and flat roofs alike.
Roofs in small places like Rout's Green frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so

Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Wind, rain and roofs in Rout's Green
About 3.6 miles south-east lies West Wycombe Park House, a reminder of how long the area around Rout's Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like 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. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Saunderton station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bledlow Ridge School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, it typically takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Rout's Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Landlord and commercial surveys in Rout's Green
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
Why act early in Rout's Green
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. Older and listed buildings around Rout's Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why us?
- A written report with photos
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- An independent view of the roof

Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. The report notes any damage to the stack.
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. We photograph and describe each one.
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
