Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Boyn Hill
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. Common reasons to book are flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, across flashings, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs.
Around Boyn Hill, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp on a chimney breast isn’t always rain from above, which is why it is worth tracing properly. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Checking the roof from ground level
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
If you’re unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Boyn Hill questions
How do I find out if my home in Boyn Hill is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to Boyn Hill?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
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, though we can’t predict the outcome.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You’ll then get the report by email.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we’ll record the rest.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Boyn Hill roofs and the weather
With Dorney Court about 3.1 miles east, Boyn Hill sits in an area with a long building history. 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. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Larchfield Primary and Nursery School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you live near a park like Ockwells Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you own a rental within reach of Maidenhead station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Being in a smaller place like Boyn Hill does not change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
