About our storm damage roof report in Shreding Green
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. Common reasons to book are flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and holes or cracks caused by debris, across flashings, chimney stacks and ridges and hips.
Somewhere as small as Shreding Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Storm damage roof reports in Shreding Green: local notes
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Historic houses such as Windsor Castle, about 4 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Shreding Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
The streets around a church like Church of St Peter are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Pavilions, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Shreding Green?
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Problems we come across often include:
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Flat roof edges peeled back
Anyone responsible for a site like The Iver Village Junior School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Advice
Common questions in Shreding Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Shreding Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you come out to Shreding Green?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
