What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Cottages and farmhouses around Stone often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.

Storm damage roof report in Stone: what you get
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. Common reasons to book are cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, across flashings, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
Roofs in small places like Stone frequently stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. 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.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can

Roof by roof
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Stone
Do you cover smaller places like Stone?
Yes, Stone is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Stone is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. For an older or listed building in a place like Stone, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why us?
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Surveys seven days a week
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Leaks and storm damage in Stone
Historic houses such as Waddesdon Manor, about 4.1 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Stone goes. 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 the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stone Church of England Combined School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
