Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Upton
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It is not a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. Common reasons to book are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and damaged pots on the stack, on chimney stacks, flashings and flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Upton, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Upton can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

FAQs for Upton
Do you cover smaller places like Upton?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is Upton in the area you cover?
Yes, Upton is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Upton as anywhere else.
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.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Storm damage roof reports around Upton
The wider area around Upton has a long history of building, with Waddesdon Manor about 3.9 miles north-west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you own a rental within reach of Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you run a business near Friars Square, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.

What we are asked to look at in Upton
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. Your insurer still makes the decision.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Water coming in after the storm
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damaged gutters and fascias
Anyone responsible for a site like Stone Church of England Combined School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What the survey will not cover
- What experience they bring
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the inside of the roof is included

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Photograph the damage safely from below
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, it normally takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Upton, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Keep pets in another room
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
When you need someone else
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Estimates of repair costs
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
