Storm damage roof report in Studley Green, Buckinghamshire
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out storm damage roof reports in Studley Green.
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Lead lifted at abutments
Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
How a storm damage roof report works in Studley Green
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey chimney stacks, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes, and people most often book us about slates and tiles blown off the roof and lead lifted at abutments.
Roofs in small places like Studley Green often 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.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
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. Don’t go up yourself.
Honest limits
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- A price for the repairs
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Why get it checked now?
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. In a place like Studley Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why us?
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Plain-English reports with photos
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- An independent view of the roof

What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older rural homes like those around Studley Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- 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 loft space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
How to book
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Related advice
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Studley Green?
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Lead lifted at abutments
Anyone responsible for a site like The Mary Towerton School At Studley Green will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Before you book anyone
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Is VAT included in the price?
Studley Green questions
Will you come out to Studley Green?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Studley Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. 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.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
