Storm damage roof report in Britwell, Slough
Storm damage roof reports around Britwell, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Flat roof edges peeled back
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
How a storm damage roof report works in Britwell
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. If you’ve noticed damage from fallen branches or debris and lead lifted at abutments, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and chimney stacks alike.
In older homes around places like Britwell, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there’s little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Whether it is long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are often the first clues.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Britwell
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How big the roof is
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
All our prices include VAT. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
What to tell us when you contact us
We’ll typically ask about:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The kind of building and roof involved
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it typically takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a smaller place like Britwell, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Tell us about parking before the day
Booking a survey
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Britwell roofs and the weather
Dorney Court, about 2.9 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Britwell. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Anyone responsible for a site like Claycots School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Homes near green spaces such as Cocksherd Wood can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.

Questions from Britwell
Is Britwell in the area you cover?
Yes, Britwell is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Britwell as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Britwell?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The written report follows by email.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. The report shows each damaged area.
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.
Leave it or get it looked at?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. Our report gives an honest view of both, so there are no surprises later. Homes in smaller places like Britwell can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
