Storm damage roof report in Saunderton Lee
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to 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.
Many homes in small places like Saunderton Lee face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

What else we do in Saunderton Lee
Storm damage roof reports around Saunderton Lee
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently 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. About 3.6 miles south lies West Wycombe Park House, a reminder of how long the area around Saunderton Lee has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like St John's Church of England Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St John the Evangelist, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Landlords with a home close to Saunderton station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

Questions from Saunderton Lee
Will you come out to Saunderton Lee?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you cover Saunderton Lee?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There is no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- A price for the repairs
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs
- Gutters and fascias

- Ridges and hips
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
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 visit with that in mind.
Checking the roof from the ground
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. Do not go up yourself.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
