Questions from Wendover Dean
Do you cover smaller places like Wendover Dean?
Yes. Wendover Dean is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is my home in Wendover Dean 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.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when you book.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Wendover Dean?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
How a storm damage roof report works in Wendover Dean
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. You get a report with photographs to give to your insurer. If you’ve noticed damaged gutters and fascias and loose or torn flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Roofs in small places like Wendover Dean often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older roofs in small places like Wendover Dean can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Slate roofs
Slates often outlast the nails that hold them. The report records whether slipped slates look like storm damage or older wear.
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
