Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. We record any damage and where it is.
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
About our storm damage roof report in Tyler's Hill
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We survey flashings, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and people most often book us about damage from fallen branches or debris and new damp or leaks inside.
Many homes in small places like Tyler's Hill face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Rural addresses near Tyler's Hill can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.

Advice
Tyler's Hill: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Tyler's Hill?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Tyler's Hill in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Tyler's Hill as anywhere else.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
There is no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Common roof problems in Tyler's Hill
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. Your insurer still makes the decision.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Roofs hit by falling trees
If you own a rental within reach of Amersham station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What exactly goes into their report
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- A decision on your insurance claim
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- How your policy defines a storm
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What this survey covers
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It’s your record to use.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Tyler's Hill
Historic houses like Chenies Manor House, about 3 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Tyler's Hill goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For an older house near a landmark such as St George's Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Take a building like Ley Hill School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
