Storm damage roof report in Turnfurlong: what you get
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey flashings, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about damaged ridges and hips and gaps where slates or tiles have gone.
Older cottages and houses around Turnfurlong may have roofs with little or no underlay. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there is little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Finding where it gets in, and whether it’s old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are frequently the first clue.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Turnfurlong
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- New damp or leaks inside
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
Landlords with a home close to Aylesbury station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

How the survey works
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a survey in Turnfurlong, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Getting a price
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Storm damage roof reports in Turnfurlong: local notes
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you look after a building like Turnfurlong Junior School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Take an older house close to Holy Trinity: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Roof area
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
