Storm damage roof reports across Windsor and Maidenhead: what to expect
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are broken or displaced guttering and damaged pots on the stack.
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.

Storm damage roof reports across Windsor and Maidenhead: local notes
Storm damage across Windsor and Maidenhead is best recorded soon after it happens, so the report can separate fresh damage from older wear where the evidence allows. The insurer decides any claim.
London and the South East mix slate and clay tile roofs on older homes with concrete tiles on many later ones, and flat-roofed extensions and dormers are common everywhere. Each roof in Windsor and Maidenhead is checked with its age and materials in mind.
Maidenhead: For hotels and guest houses around Maidenhead, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest. Landlords with a home close to Maidenhead station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Common roof problems in Windsor and Maidenhead
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Water coming in after the storm
Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Flashings around stacks can lift in strong winds. Loose flashings are recorded.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.

Questions from Windsor and Maidenhead
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Do you work in Windsor and Maidenhead?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Windsor and Maidenhead included.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
