Storm damage roof report in Tingewick
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you’re worried about damage from fallen branches or debris and damaged ridges and hips, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Tingewick face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen 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.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Photograph the damage safely from below
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Common roof problems in Tingewick
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- New damp or leaks inside
Anyone responsible for a site like Royal Latin School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

Wind, rain and roofs in Tingewick
Historic houses such as Stowe House, about 3.1 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Tingewick goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary Magdalen are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Tingewick: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Tingewick?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Tingewick in the area you cover?
Yes, Tingewick is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
