Storm Damage Roof Report in Whiteleaf
An independent record of roof damage after a storm around Whiteleaf, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Why get it checked now?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. In a place like Whiteleaf, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.

Storm damage roof report in Whiteleaf
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, 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. Common reasons to book are cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and damage from fallen branches or debris, on flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Whiteleaf, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. 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.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Wind, rain and roofs in Whiteleaf
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For landlords with property near Monks Risborough station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you live in an older home near Church of St Dunstan, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Whiteleaf
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photographs.
Common reasons to book include:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- New damp or leaks inside
Anyone responsible for a site like Monks Risborough CofE Primary School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Before booking any roof surveyor

Whiteleaf: your questions answered
Will you come out to Whiteleaf?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Whiteleaf?
Yes, Whiteleaf is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Whiteleaf often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- 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 ground level, 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 we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Leave a clear route to the loft
