Great Missenden storm damage roof repair — your questions
What if the storm damage is bigger than a single visit?+
We secure the roof first, document everything for your insurer (photos, scope, written cause), and schedule permanent repair within days rather than weeks. 5.5 miles from our yard means return visits aren't a problem.
Will you make it watertight on the first Great Missenden visit?+
In almost every case, yes — temporary tarp, common HP16 replacement tiles from the van, or a lead patch on a chimney flashing. Permanent repair is quoted in writing afterwards.
What's your busiest time of year in Great Missenden?+
Autumn and early spring — after the first Chiltern Main line-corridor storms expose weak spots. Book HP16 surveys 2-4 weeks ahead during those windows.

All of it — HP16 and surrounding postcodes. That includes Great Missenden Village, Prestwood, South Heath. We're also in chesham, prestwood and wendover most weeks.

Housing stock — Listed buildings with handmade tile, slate and ornate leadwork. Many properties need traditional lead-lined valley and box-gutter work.
Local roofing challenge — Timber-framed properties on the high street have shallow eaves and shared lead valleys — we rebuild these valleys in continuous lead with proper rolls rather than over-soldered patches.
On the ground — The Roald Dahl Museum draws constant visitor traffic on the high street — we book scaffold permits for Tuesday-Thursday windows and avoid weekends entirely to keep village access flowing.
Microclimate — The Misbourne is a chalk stream that occasionally surfaces in winter — properties on Whitefield Lane and around the abbey have rising ground damp that compounds normal roof moisture and shortens flashing life.
Site access — The Chiltern Main Line runs through the village and Network Rail clearance is needed for any roof work within 6m of the line — we handle the application as part of pre-start admin on relevant HP16 jobs.
