Storm damage roof report in Well End: what you get
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We’re often asked to look into damaged ridges and hips and new damp or leaks inside, across ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs.
For a small place like Well End, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Well End roofs and the weather
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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Historic houses like Cliveden, about 2.2 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Well End goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Mark, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you run a business near Eden, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. Take a building like Claytons Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

What affects the price in Well End
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Height and safe access
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.

What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Well End can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
How to book
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Advice
Common questions in Well End
Is my home in Well End listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Well End within the area you cover?
Yes, Well End is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails often fail first. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
