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. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Tatling End
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey slate and tile slopes, flashings and flat roofs, and people most often book us about holes or cracks caused by debris and water coming in after the storm.
Roofs in small places like Tatling End often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Tatling End needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Advice
Storm damage roof reports in Tatling End: local notes
Historic houses such as Ickenham Hall, about 4 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Tatling End goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you look after a building like The Gerrards Cross CofE School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Landlords with a home close to Denham Golf Club station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails frequently fail first. We look at whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.

Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
Questions from Tatling End
Do you cover smaller places like Tatling End?
Yes. Tatling End is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Tatling End is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take an hour or two for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.

When you are ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Common roof problems in Tatling End
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
We are often asked to look at:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Damaged flat roof membrane
For businesses in and around places such as The Pavilions, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.
