Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Blocked gutters on homes around Walton Court overflow and soak walls, particularly where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Storm damage roof report in Walton Court
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It is yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and broken or displaced guttering.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Walton Court can let water in, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.

Storm damage roof reports around Walton Court
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. 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 yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of the Good Shepherd, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Friars Square, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. If you own a rental within reach of Aylesbury station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.

Questions from Walton Court
Is Walton Court in the area you cover?
Yes, Walton Court is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Is my home in Walton Court listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
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. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we can’t predict the outcome.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Walton Court, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
