How a storm damage roof report works in Rowsham
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you’ve noticed lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and slipped or missing slates or tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Roofs in small places like Rowsham 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, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. On timing, it usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like Rowsham, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets in another room

What happens if roof problems are left?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it is better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so there are no surprises later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rowsham can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

Questions from Rowsham
Will you come out to Rowsham?
Yes, Rowsham is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Rowsham?
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 act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Which survey package you book
- Roof area
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Unsure which package suits your roof? It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Storm damage roof reports in Rowsham: local notes
With Ascott House about 3.8 miles north-east, Rowsham sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you own a rental within reach of Aylesbury station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Anyone responsible for a site like Wingrave Church of England Combined School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
