How a storm damage roof report works in Wendover
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you’ve noticed loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and damaged ridges and hips, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on chimney stacks, flashings and flat roofs alike.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Wendover can let water in, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it is not always obvious where it starts. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Wendover?
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- New damp or leaks inside
Anyone responsible for a site like The John Hampden School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Their insurance cover
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a smaller place like Wendover, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- 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’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Tell us about parking before the day

Advice
Wendover roofs and the weather
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. With Cholesbury Manor House about 3.9 miles east, Wendover sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
Landlords with a home close to Wendover station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Wendover means lost rooms as well as repairs.

Wendover questions
Is Wendover within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is my home in Wendover listed or in a conservation area?
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.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is normally excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
How do I book a survey in Wendover?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
