Storm damage roof report in Boveney: what you get
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. 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 cannot say whether a claim will be paid. We survey flat roofs, ridges and hips and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are slates and tiles blown off the roof and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks.
Somewhere as small as Boveney, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Boveney?
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.
Common reasons to book include:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Homer First School and Nursery, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What we cannot see
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- A price for the repairs
- The outcome of a claim
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and does not.

FAQs for Boveney
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Boveney?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is Boveney within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
Why act early in Boveney
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. For an older or listed building in a place like Boveney, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Cottages and farmhouses around Boveney often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.

Advice
Leaks and storm damage in Boveney
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. The wider area around Boveney has a long history of building, with Dorney Court about 1.2 miles north-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Windsor & Eton Central station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you live near a park such as Sutherland Grange, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
