How a storm damage roof report works in Saunderton
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a photo-illustrated written report to give to your insurer. If you are worried about flat roof edges peeled back and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Saunderton, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

How the survey works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photos. On timing, it usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere like Saunderton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- When you need the report by
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
What we cannot see
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- How your policy defines a storm
- The outcome of a claim
- A price for the repairs

FAQs for Saunderton
How do I find out if my home in Saunderton is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Saunderton?
Yes, Saunderton is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. Damage is photographed and described.
Lead flashings
Wind can peel back flashings at abutments and stacks. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
Wind, rain and roofs in Saunderton
About 2.6 miles south lies West Wycombe Park House, a reminder of how long the area around Saunderton has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If you let a flat or house near Saunderton station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you look after a building 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. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Paul, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
